HOW IT WORKS

 

ready.set.pause.-graphic

 

The “Ready. Set. Pause.” program is an exclusive partnership available through DealShield and Ready Logistics for dealers purchasing and transporting inventory from Manheim auctions to their lot.

When you have the ultimate protection of DealShield’s Automatic Purchase Advantage Guarantee and choose Ready Logistics for full-service transportation, time spent in transit doesn’t count toward the 21 days you have to return your vehicle. The clock on your 21-day coverage is paused the day that Ready Logistics picks up your vehicle and resumes the day it is delivered.

As long as you have the Automatic Purchase Advantage guarantee from DealShield, you’ll keep your full 21 days to return your vehicle. Return the vehicle for a full refund of purchase price and buy fee. The Automatic Purchase Advantage guarantee does not cover acts of God.
