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 (Wisconsin-specific)

Wisconsin allows private party as-is sales. The Wisconsin Consumer Act (WS 421-427) prohibits deceptive practices even in as-is transactions. Wisconsin does not require a state safety inspection for private sales. Include explicit as-is language in the bill of sale and document known defects in writing.
