Thanking you in advance.
In most states, used car sales are understood to be "as is." This means the buyer understands that if something goes wrong after the car is driven away, it's entirely his or her responsibility. That means that, as a seller, you're not responsible for the car after it's sold. Just make sure they sign the check or agreed signature or the purchase 😉
