A vehicle is considered AS-IS if any of the following applies:
- (A.) Seller designates the vehicle AS-IS
- (B.) The vehicle has a selling price of $3,000 and under
- (C.) Any other reason for which the NAAA Arbitration Policy requires or permits an AS-IS designation.
- (D.) The seller cannot produce the vehicle’s title and cannot articulate a credible, near-term path to obtaining it (Bill of Sale–only sales).
This policy applies to in-lane, Simulcast, ADESA Clear, and DealerBlock vehicles.
ADESA’s AS-IS designation shall control over any conflicting information in a pre-sale run listing or condition report, but shall not limit a seller’s right to make additional disclosures.
All NAAA Arbitration Policy seller disclosures and arbitration periods apply to AS-IS vehicles.
AS-IS vehicles sold for $3,000 and under ((B) above) arbitration is limited to only the following reasons:
- Not Actual Miles/Inoperative odometer
- Title issues (present and history)
- Issues required to be disclosed by applicable law (e.g., lemon law buybacks, salvage/rebuilt titles)
Sellers may offer a vehicle as “Ride and Drive” (Green Light) for any vehicle considered AS-IS under (B), (C), or (D) above. Buyer and seller should be aware that the seller bears all financial responsibility in the case of a successful arbitration claim by the buyer on any such vehicle. The auction will bear no financial responsibility on any such vehicle, regardless of whether the vehicle has a post-sale inspection or information is listed in error on a pre-sale run listing, online condition report or any other vehicle information.
This policy is effective as of June 8, 2026.
