As an online marketing and referral service for the automotive industry and for related products and services, Member Auto Center is NOT a Vehicle Seller, a broker or agent for Vehicle Sellers or a provider of or broker or agent for auto financing, insurance or other automotive-related products or services offered by third parties ("Product and Service Providers"). Content and information displayed on the Member Auto Center Websites is being provided for educational purposes only. The Member Auto Center Websites are designed to enable users to obtain online and offline price, payment and financing quotes from participating Vehicle Sellers and Product and Service providers. Member Auto Center does not provide these prices or payment quotes and is not responsible for any such quotes or other information provided by Vehicle Sellers or Product and Service Providers. All quotes are estimates only and exclude state and local taxes, as well as any state and local governmental charges, including without limitation, registration, license and title fees, documentary fees, emissions certification fees and added accessories you may choose to place on a vehicle.

All tools appearing on this Website that allow for configuring vehicles with different options do so with such items that are typically available from the manufacturer and are typically available at local dealerships and may not be indicative of all of the configurations and equipment available on the vehicle being configured or the exact price(s) for a vehicle so equipped. Any discrepancies or mistakes made regarding vehicle availability, condition or pricing are not the responsibility of Member Auto Center and should be directed to the dealer or third party vendor responsible for providing the information. Member Auto Center does not guarantee either expressly or by implication that Member Auto Center will find a vehicle that meets your specifications. Exact matches can be extremely difficult to find because of geographic location, vehicle popularity, and limited production or factory-to-dealer allocations.
