As-is sale — What You Need to Know

The vehicle is sold in its current condition with no warranty from the seller. The buyer accepts all risk of defects known or unknown at the time of sale.

Seller guidance

Include explicit "as-is" language in the bill of sale. Under UCC § 2-316(3)(a), writing "as-is" or "with all faults" in the contract effectively disclaims all implied warranties, including the implied warranty of merchantability under UCC § 2-314. Still disclose known material defects — concealing known defects can constitute fraud even in an as-is sale.

Buyer guidance

An as-is sale gives you no recourse for undisclosed defects after closing. Order a pre-purchase inspection from a licensed mechanic before agreeing to price. Review any known issue list the seller provides and get it in writing.

Legal note (California-specific)

California's Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1790 et seq.) limits as-is sales for dealers but allows private parties to sell as-is. The bill of sale must conspicuously state "as-is" and "with all faults." Sellers must still comply with CA Vehicle Code § 11713.1 regarding smog certification — a valid smog check within 90 days is required for most vehicles.

Devine As-is sale van printable — when to file

California requires title transfer within 10 days of the sale date on the bill of sale. For as-is sale transactions specifically, file at California DMV – Devine (Visit https://www.dmv.ca.gov to find the nearest Devine office) during normal hours: Mon–Fri 8:00 AM–5:00 PM (verify hours with local office). California CA does not require notarization of the bill of sale, but the title transfer (REG 262) must be signed by both parties. Miss the 10-day window and California typically charges a late-transfer penalty plus accrued use tax, and the seller can remain on the title for civil liability until the buyer completes retitling. Bring the signed title, the completed Devine bill of sale, your government-issued ID, and payment for the $23.00 title transfer fee plus 7.25% sales tax on the purchase price.

Printable reminder. Whether you keep your printable as a printed two-copy paper record, both buyer and seller should leave the signing with an identical executed copy. The buyer needs the original to present at California DMV – Devine; the seller keeps a duplicate to prove the date of transfer if a future liability question arises before the title fully retitles.
