You actually think the OP is going sell this with a warranty?
Rules vary from state to state... In my state (MO), the seller is required to have a recent safety inspection and, if applicable, emissions -- even private sellers. In my experience, this is never done. Still, the existence of the law would give a buyer a lot of leverage to return a "lemon" if it fails to pass inspection.
NH seems to have a special form for letting buyers know a car is unsafe, but I have no idea if it applies to private sellers.
A warranty is a whole different thing than having a current inspection sticker.
"As is" condition doesn't apply only to warranty. I have always sold my cars in "as is" condition, meaning the buyer was responsible for everything required in order to transfer the ownership and register the vehicle under his/her name. If that means passing safety, emission inspections, or anything else, it would be on their dime.
If I knew the car would pass emissions, for example, I would do the test myself and include this information in my add. But the add would still include "as is".
I never implied that OP should offer some sort of warranty, that would be silly, even on a much newer vehicle, as a private sale, of course.
