In most states, the condition of a used car for sale is considered "as is"
and no warranty is provided or implied. Therefore, if the car breaks down after
you have sold it, you are under no obligation to refund the buyer's money or
pay to have it repaired. If you have sold a car to someone who took it for inspection
at a garage and the mechanic found nothing wrong with it, you have done all
you can to protect yourself and the buyer.
The best way to feel peace of mind after selling your used car is to make sure
you did everything correctly. This means being open about the condition of the
car before the sale and timely and complete in transferring DMV paperwork after
the sale.
When done correctly, selling a used car can be a win-win situation. You have
turned your used car into cash and provided reliable transportation for the
next owner. Focus on the benefits to both parties and you are likely to have
a smooth and profitable experience.
