Why You Should Never Ever Buy a Used Car That's Sold "As Is"

From Road & Track

We're big proponents of buying used cars here at Road & Track, but unfortunately, sometimes a used car isn't a great value. You might look at a Cragislist listing for a seemingly perfect Miata being sold "as is," and while the car may seem totally fine, you should pause before you hand your money over.

As our columnist Steve Lehto explains in his Lehto's Law podcast, if you buy a used car that's sold "as is," you're totally out of luck if something catastrophic happens when you take possession. Engine blows up as you drive away from the seller? Sorry, it's your problem now.

Listen to his podcast embedded below for all the nuanced details on this issue.
