What to know about as-is sale sales in New York
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.
What to include in your bill of sale
- Full legal names and addresses for both buyer and seller.
- Horse Trailer make, model, year, VIN, and current mileage.
- Agreed sale price, payment method, and transaction date.
- Any as-is sale-specific disclosures required in New York.

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.

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.

New York Legal Requirements
New York generally enforces as-is clauses in private party vehicle sales. However, a fraud claim survives an as-is clause if the seller actively concealed a known defect or made affirmative misrepresentations about the vehicle’s condition. Courts apply a “special facts” doctrine when the seller possesses knowledge not readily available to the buyer.
