As-Is Sale
A used-car sale with no warranty. Buyer assumes all repair risk.
Why it matters
An as-is sale is a vehicle sold "with all faults" — the seller makes no representations about condition and provides no warranty. Most state lemon laws don't apply to as-is sales. Always get a pre-purchase inspection before agreeing to as-is. Federal Trade Commission requires dealers to display a Buyer's Guide on used vehicles indicating as-is or warranty status.
