Car Sold As Is Contract Template for Austria

The Car Sold As Is Contract is essential for transactions involving used vehicles in Austria where the seller wishes to limit warranties to the minimum required by law. This document is particularly useful for private sellers, used car dealers, and companies disposing of fleet vehicles. The contract complies with Austrian legal requirements while protecting the seller's interests by clearly documenting the "as is" nature of the sale. It includes mandatory disclosures, vehicle specifications, known defects, and transfer requirements under Austrian law. The document should be used when selling vehicles in their current condition, particularly when the seller wants to avoid future claims regarding vehicle condition beyond those mandated by Austrian consumer protection laws. It's designed to work within the framework of the Austrian Civil Code (ABGB) and includes all necessary elements for a valid vehicle transfer in Austria.
