The $800 threshold for vehicles under $50,000 stays in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disclosure rules also tightened. Generic \u201cNo Arb for [defect]\u201d announcements are now prohibited and may be grounds for arbitration. Likewise, announcing only a warning light or diagnostic trouble code no longer relieves a seller of responsibility for the underlying condition. Sellers are directed to disclose the specific defect, provide a descriptive disclosure, or sell Red Light\/As-Is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) components \u2014 adaptive cruise, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, and similar systems \u2014 are now formally added to Appendix I, though components in visibly damaged or disclosed parts remain ineligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional clarifications cover mileage-exempt vehicles, the single mechanical-filing rule, and title policy documentation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The National Auto Auction Association\u2019s updated Arbitration Guidelines took effect June 1, 2026, bringing several changes that affect&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7176,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_appearance_grid":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[3,11],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-7339","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-industry","8":"category-inventory-floor-planning","9":"cs-entry","10":"cs-video-wrap"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7339","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7339"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7339\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7340,"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7339\/revisions\/7340"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7339"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7339"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7339"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
