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 (Washington-specific)
Washington allows private party as-is sales. The Washington Consumer Protection Act (RCW 19.86) prohibits unfair or deceptive acts regardless of as-is disclaimers. Washington does not require a state safety inspection for private sales. Use tax on the sale price applies regardless of the vehicle's condition — the as-is status does not reduce the taxable amount.
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
- Include as-is language conspicuously in the bill of sale
- Disclose all known material defects in writing
- Ensure use tax is calculated on the actual sale price at WA DOL

Bothell As-is sale utv template — when to file
Washington requires title transfer within 15 days of the sale date on the bill of sale. For as-is sale transactions specifically, file at DOL Vehicle Licensing – Bothell (Visit https://www.dol.wa.gov for the nearest Bothell, WA office) during normal hours: Mon–Fri 8:30 AM–4:30 PM. Miss the 15-day window and Washington 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 Bothell bill of sale, your government-issued ID, and payment for the $12.00 title transfer fee plus 8.00% sales tax on the purchase price.
Template reminder. Whether you keep your template as a blank template you fill in by hand, both buyer and seller should leave the signing with an identical executed copy. The buyer needs the original to present at DOL Vehicle Licensing – Bothell; the seller keeps a duplicate to prove the date of transfer if a future liability question arises before the title fully retitles.
