As a seller, you must have possession of the actual vehicle listed and the ability to transfer the title in the same. You are solely responsible to ensure that the vehicles made available by you on this Site, are non accidental, are not stolen or obtained by way of theft, fraud, any other illegal means etc. To list a vehicle for sale on TIL’s site the sellers are required to provide certain identifying and true and adequate contact information. The information must accurately identify the seller and the method of contact must permit buyers to communicate directly with the seller.

Though we hope that all who come to this Site will act honorably and treat each other fairly, we can't verify the information seller/s supply or guarantee the vehicle/s they offer. Nor can we assure the seller of a vehicle that the check he/she gets from the buyer isn't going to bounce.
