§
46A-6A-3b. Circumstances necessary for dealer to sell a motor
vehicle in "as is" condition.
Beginning the first day of July, one thousand nine hundred ninety-four, all authorized dealers of new or used motor vehicles may sell the motor vehicles in "as is" condition if the motor vehicle is sold for two thousand dollars or less, or the motor vehicle has been driven one hundred thousand miles or more.
A motor vehicle sold in "as is" condition has neither an expressed nor an implied warranty attached and the dealer shall not be responsible for correcting any defect or condition which substantially impairs the use or market value of the motor vehicle to the consumer.
NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to give a new or used car dealer the option of selling a car in "as is" condition if the car is sold for $2,000.00 or less or if the car has 100,000 miles or more.
§46A-6A-3b is new; therefore, strike-throughs and underscoring have been omitted.
