I have a question about the necessity of using the term "AS IS" when
selling a used car. I can see using the term when selling a clunker
with many problem but find the term problematic with newer cars. When
you sell a almost new car and use the term "AS IS" you may put off
a potential buyer.

Here's the question. ......If I sell a clean car without using the
term "AS IS" am I automatically giving the car some sort of
warranty?

It depends on which state the sale is in, whether you are a
"dealer" under state law, and the rest of the terms of the
agreement.
