"As is" can mean "oh no" — When you buy a used car that the dealer advertises "as is," be careful. The dealer is telling you that he/she is not warranting anything. If anything happens to the car, the dealer is not responsible for it. When you are buying a used or new car, always have someone with you who knows something about cars and get a mechanic to check out the car before you purchase it. This applies to anything you purchase "as is."
