Used Car Sales are usually as-is sales, but some car dealer do sell used cars with a warranty so the sale is not an "as-is" sale. Almost every used car sale is an "as-is" sale, what you see is what you get so a used car buyer should do all their research before buying a vehicle. Some countries or states/provinces within those countries have specific laws which grant the used car buyer some additional protection. For example, the law may provide for a cooling off period in which the buyer may return the car or the law may require warranties on the used car.

Used Cars Resource:
European Union - Used cars have a statutory warranty according to the system of laws of the European Union, the so-called "Liability for defects", which lasts for 12 months.
Canada: Ontario - New and used vehicle sales are regulated by the Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council (OMVIC).
United States - The Federal Trade Commission's Used Car Rule requires dealers to post a Buyers Guide in every used car they offer for sale.
In the United States, an estimated 34-percent of consumers are buying vehicle history reports for used cars. Vehicle history reports are an inexpensive way to check the track record of any used vehicle. Vehicle history reports provide customers with a detailed record based on the vehicle's serial number (VIN).
These reports will indicate items of public record, such as vehicle title branding, lemon law buybacks, odometer fraud and recalls. They may indicate minor/moderate collision damage or improper vehicle maintenance. An attempt to identify vehicles which have been previously owned by hire car rental agencies, police and emergency services or taxi fleets is also made. However, consumers should research vehicles carefully, as these reporting services only report the information to which they have access.
