Nope. Not on an "as is" sale. They are only liable for those used cars where they may offer some sort of 30 warrenty or something.

If I remember correctly, back when I was researching this type of thing, dealerships are obligated to provide some sort of help within the first 30 days. It is very possible there was a dollar-value cutoff for this. Maybe Steve will know more. There are a lot of consumer protection laws out there that most people don't know about (and that sellers/retailers won't tell you about).

I don't know if there is a dollar cut off, but I know there is one for the age and/or mileage of the car. I bought my truck from a dealership. It's a '99 which had 107k miles at the time, and there was no standard warranty because of the mileage.
