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 (New York-specific)

New York requires used car dealers to provide a warranty for vehicles over $1,500 and under 100,000 miles, but private party as-is sales are permitted. The bill of sale must clearly state "sold as-is." New York Vehicle and Traffic Law requires a valid inspection sticker. The buyer should verify the inspection status before purchase.

As-is sale checklist

  • Include "sold as-is, with all faults" language conspicuously in the bill of sale
  • Attach a written list of known defects signed by the seller
  • Complete a pre-purchase inspection before finalizing price
  • Confirm odometer reading is accurate and document it
  • Buyer signs acknowledgment of as-is condition
  • Verify the vehicle has a current NY inspection sticker
  • Include "sold as-is" in the bill of sale
