What to know about as-is sale sales in Puerto Rico
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.
- Motorcycle make, model, year, VIN, and current mileage.
- Agreed sale price, payment method, and transaction date.
- Any as-is sale-specific disclosures required in Puerto Rico.
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 considerations
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.
Motorcycle-Specific As-Is Considerations
Motorcycles sold as-is carry additional disclosure considerations beyond standard vehicles. Frame damage is especially critical to disclose because it directly affects rider safety and may not be visible without professional inspection. Salvage title history should be verified, as rebuilt motorcycles may have compromised structural integrity. Aftermarket modifications that affect roadworthiness—such as extended forks, engine swaps, or exhaust modifications that violate emissions standards—should be documented in the bill of sale. While odometer rollback is less common on motorcycles, VIN verification is particularly important because motorcycles have a higher theft rate than passenger vehicles. Confirm the VIN on the frame matches the title and engine case number.
