Document background
The Car Sale As Is Contract is a vital document for vehicle transactions in Australia where the seller wishes to transfer ownership of a vehicle in its current condition, without providing additional warranties beyond those mandated by law. This document is commonly used in private sales, dealership transactions, and corporate fleet disposals. It includes comprehensive details about the vehicle's condition, known defects, and statutory disclosures required under Australian consumer law. The contract protects both parties by clearly documenting the 'as is' nature of the sale while ensuring compliance with federal and state-specific regulations. It's particularly important when selling used vehicles or in situations where the seller wants to limit their liability to only those guarantees required by law. The document should be customized based on the specific state or territory's requirements and whether the sale is private or commercial.
