Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Private car sale

I sold my vehicle to private party and had her sign contract ''as is with no implied or expressed warranties.'' Three weeks later, she called to say car has engine problems and I defrauded her b/c I knew about the problem, which is a lie, and she will sue if I don't pay for it. Does she have standing in court with the contract she signed?
