Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York

Seller's responsibility in a private used car sale

My husband and I sold an older model car with well over 100,000 miles on it for $2,000.00 The buyer called me six days later to let me know that a head gasket had blown, and asking if we would refund some of the purchase price. The car was sold for $600. less than the asking price, and a bill of sale was signed stating the car was sold in as-is condition, with no warranty written or implied. Are we responsible to help out with any of the bills incurred by the new owner?

As is means "as is"...

No need to help out ... as long as you can prove that it was indeed sold "as is" in the event of a small claims suit.

Good Luck
