Light Codes Guide

  • Green Light (Ride & Drive): Covers mechanical defects exceeding $600 repair cost; buyer has 24 to 48 hours to arbitrate.
  • Yellow Light: Specified announcements only (e.g., check engine light, prior structural repair, branded title).
  • Red Light (As-Is): Complete buyer assumption of all risk; zero post-sale arbitration rights.

Never bid on an auction vehicle without paying strict attention to lane light status. Misunderstanding an announcement can leave your floorplan stuck with a blown transmission and zero recourse.

"Wholesale dealer auction access allows independent operators to purchase inventory 15% to 30% below retail book value, bypassing dealership markups entirely."
