Is buying a used car without a warranty worth it?
Many shoppers buy a new car because it comes with a manufacturer’s warranty that covers any parts that fail for a set period. Shoppers who buy used cars, on the other hand, most often have to buy them “as is” without any warranty coverage. That makes buying a used car a riskier proposition, but it doesn’t mean shoppers are without options.
What to look for when buying a car as is?
What to Look For When Buying a Car ‘As Is’. A major advantage to buying a new car or truck is getting a manufacturer’s warranty that covers the cost of any unexpected repairs for a set number of years or miles. Used vehicles, on the other hand, are most often sold “as is” without a warranty of any kind.
What does “as is” mean when buying a used car?
Private party used-car transactions are always “as is.” A dealer may either sell a given pre-owned vehicle with a warranty or offer it as is. The Federal Trade Commission requires dealers to make this status clear to shoppers on a “Buyer’s Guide” window sticker that must be affixed to every used car or truck on the lot.
