Title Availability Policy

Updated October 1, 2026

To ensure a consistent experience for buyers purchasing across Manheim’s nationwide locations, the following standards apply to disclosures related to title availability:

1. Default Title Status

Unless a Seller explicitly announces or declares “Title Present” at the time of sale, the title is considered absent at the time of purchase. The Seller remains accountable for delivering a negotiable title to Manheim within the timeframe specified under that location’s Title Policy, as published on Manheim.com. The day of sale counts as Day 1.

2. “Title Present” Declarations

When a Seller announces or declares “Title Present” at the time of sale, the Seller is accountable for delivering a negotiable title to Manheim within three (3) business days of the sale. The day of sale counts as Day 1.

3. Absent Title Claims

If a Seller fails to deliver title within the required timeframe, Buyers may file an absent title claim through Manheim.com. Claims must be submitted in accordance with Manheim’s Marketplace Policies.
