The Federal Trade Commission requires used car dealers in most states to display statements that the cars are sold "as is" if the cars are sold with limited warranties.

The Federal Trade Commission requires used car dealers to display a Buyer's Guide on used cars for sale, which indicates whether the car is being sold "as is" or with a warranty. The requirement to display "as is" applies only if the dealer is selling the car without any warranty. If the car comes with a warranty, the Buyer's Guide must detail the warranty coverage.
