Vehicle Disclosure Statement.
Every seller must electronically sign this statement before a listing goes live. It is the single most important protection for the GM Vault community.
What you are certifying
By electronically signing the Vehicle Disclosure Statement as part of your submission, you certify under penalty of misrepresentation that:
- You are the legal owner of the vehicle, or have written authority from the owner to sell it.
- The VIN provided matches the vehicle and has not been altered or restamped.
- The odometer reading provided is accurate to the best of your knowledge, and any odometer discrepancy is disclosed.
- You have disclosed all known mechanical defects, electrical issues, leaks, and required repairs.
- You have disclosed the current title status (clean, salvage, rebuilt, bonded, parts-only, or out-of-state).
- You have disclosed any history of salvage, flood, fire, frame damage, or major collision.
- You have disclosed any engine swap, transmission swap, or non-original drivetrain.
- You have disclosed all liens on the vehicle and will clear them before title transfer.
- All photos in the listing are of the actual vehicle being sold and were taken recently.
Prohibited listings
- Stolen vehicles.
- Vehicles with altered, restamped, or removed VINs.
- Vehicles you are not legally authorized to transfer.
- Vehicles subject to undisclosed liens or open recalls that affect drivability without disclosure.
Consequences of misrepresentation
Material misrepresentation in the Vehicle Disclosure Statement is grounds for immediate removal of the listing, permanent account termination, forfeiture of fees, and referral of the matter to law enforcement. Seller agrees to indemnify GM Vault and the buyer for any loss arising from inaccurate disclosure.
How signing works
You sign the Vehicle Disclosure Statement during the final step of submission by typing your full legal name and checking the acknowledgment box. The signature, timestamp, and IP address are recorded with the submission and attached to the listing record.
