    Most used car warranties are engine and gearbox only.

    I am no expert, but my understanding of sold as seen is no warranty at all. I have bought cars with no warranty and sold as seen was on receipt, I have bought cars with 3-6 months engine and gearbox warranty and this was written on receipt.

    Sold as seen is exactly that and no warranty is provided.

    The vehicle does have to be fit for the purpose for which it was bought so you could get onto the garage and if they are wont help, contact the SIMI.
