Were you not aware that, unless a warranty is included or you purchase one, that used cars are "as is"?

Whenever I would get assigned to the Small Claims docket(AKA: "The Gong Show") I ran into that issue constantly. My motto was "If you don't know, don't go."
Back in 1992 I bought an out of warranty 1988 M6 with 37k on the clock. I knew full well that once I drove it over the curb 100% of the repairs were
my responsibility. If the motor had grenaded I was looking at over $25k to replace it, but I took the gamble.
I owned it for three wonderful years; my only regret was stupidly selling it in a fit of practicality.
