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
UCC § 2-316 governs warranty disclaimers. The phrase "as-is" must appear conspicuously in the written agreement. Note: Louisiana does not follow the UCC for vehicle sales; redhibition law may still impose seller liability. Some states (e.g., Maine, Massachusetts) impose additional consumer protections that limit as-is sales to dealers only.
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

Eugene As-is sale utv example — when to file
Oregon requires title transfer within 30 days of the sale date on the bill of sale. For as-is sale transactions specifically, file at Oregon DMV – Eugene Office (2685 Roosevelt Blvd, Eugene, OR 97402) during normal hours: Mon–Fri 8:00 AM–5:00 PM. Miss the 30-day window and Oregon 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 Eugene bill of sale, your government-issued ID, and payment for the $77.00 title transfer fee plus 0.00% sales tax on the purchase price.
Example reminder. Whether you keep your example as a reference example, both buyer and seller should leave the signing with an identical executed copy. The buyer needs the original to present at Oregon DMV – Eugene Office; the seller keeps a duplicate to prove the date of transfer if a future liability question arises before the title fully retitles.
