7 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs1 decade agoWhat do you owe the person that buys your car?
NOTHING! Their receipt states, "as is" and is signed by you. That means there's llegally no gaurantees and they're stuck with whatever happens after they buy the vehicle with no recourse. Little do they know that you never did any maintenance at all on the car and could care less since your getting a new car. You made a "lemon" and the the person that buys your car is a "lemon eater". So my question again is, do I owe anything to the person that buys my used car?? Should I feel guilty?
