Car dealers are merchants in the business of buying and selling cars. They have a responsibility to inform you a used car sale is “AS IS” and that it is without a warranty. Aside from that responsibility, salesmen working for a dealer often make statements about the quality of a used car. Theymay say things like; “it’s a great car” or “it’s a real winner.” Those statements are obviously made to convince you to buy the car.
These statements do not constitute a warranty and do not change the fact the sale is “AS IS.” A written warranty is always your assurance the sale is not “AS IS.” Oral warranties arising out of conversations with a dealer are possible, but they are rare and very hard to prove.
An oral warranty would be a statement that specifically refers tothe quality of the car. Such a statement might be; “the car will definitely go another 10,000 miles.” Most oral statements, however, are not that specific, and do not rise to the level of a warranty. If you want a warranty, and the dealer is willing to give you one, get it in writing.
Private sellers are viewed differently by the courts and the law. If you buy a used car from a private individual
(for example, through a classified newspaper ad), it will be presumed the sale was “AS IS.” The seller does not necessarily have to tell you that. The seller’s only obligation is to sell you a car capable of providing basic
transportation - nothing more.
