III. IMPLIED WARRANTY LAW The implied warranty of merchantability is a guarantee provided by law in the sale of all consumer products, including automobiles (even if they cost less than $700 or have 125,000 miles or more on the odometer). This law says that your vehicle should function properly for a reasonable period of time. If the vehicle does not, the dealer must fix it at no charge to you. (Note: The statute does not define reasonable period of time.) It is illegal to sell a car “AS IS”, “WITH ALL FAULTS”, or with a “50/50 WARRANTY”. THIS SHEET PROVIDES ONLY A SUMMARY OF YOUR RIGHTS.
