Document background
The Car Sale Agreement As Is is essential for transactions where a vehicle is being sold in its current condition without standard warranties. This document is commonly used in Switzerland for private sales, dealership transactions involving pre-owned vehicles, or corporate fleet disposals. It's particularly important when sellers want to limit their liability for vehicle conditions and when buyers are willing to accept vehicles with known or potential issues. The agreement must comply with Swiss legal requirements, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations and federal road traffic regulations. It includes comprehensive vehicle details, clear "as is" disclaimers, price and payment terms, and ownership transfer procedures. This type of agreement is especially relevant when dealing with older vehicles, vehicles with known issues, or situations where traditional warranties aren't practical or desired.
