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 (North Carolina-specific)
North Carolina allows private party as-is sales. NC General Statutes § 20-71.4 requires odometer disclosure on all title transfers. Emissions testing is required in 27 NC counties. The bill of sale should include as-is language, and the seller must still provide a valid title.

Miss the 28-day window and North Carolina 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.

PDF reminder. Whether you keep your pdf as a signed digital PDF, both buyer and seller should leave the signing with an identical executed copy. The buyer needs the original to present at North Carolina DMV – Murfreesboro; the seller keeps a duplicate to prove the date of transfer if a future liability question arises before the title fully retitles.
