CarsAndCars.ca does not sell vehicles directly and is never a party to any transaction between vehicle buyers and sellers that originates on or through the CarsAndCars.ca Sites. Information about a particular vehicle is supplied by the seller, not by CarsAndCars.ca. The price and other terms of any sale remain subject to direct negotiation between the buyer and the seller. As a result, CarsAndCars.ca does not (a) guarantee or ensure any vehicle or any transaction between a buyer and seller, (b) collect or process payment or transfer of title on behalf of buyers or sellers, or (c) warehouse, store, ship or deliver any vehicles.
