"Used Car Buyers' Bill of Rights"; prohibits certain "as is" sales of used motor vehicles.

The "Used Car Buyers' Bill of Rights" prohibits dealers from selling used vehicles as "as is" without clear disclosure and requires them to offer a 2-day contract cancellation option for vehicles under $40,000, with fees capped at $75-$250 or 1% of the purchase price. It mandates written inspection reports, prohibits misleading terms like "certified" for vehicles with odometer issues, flood damage, or salvage titles, and establishes minimum warranty periods based on mileage (90 days/3,750 miles for vehicles under 40,000 miles). Dealers must include cancellation option notices in contracts and display them prominently in their business locations. The bill does not apply to vehicles over $40,000, salvage vehicles, total loss vehicles, or motorcycles.
