That isn't helpful, since the OP isn't in Connecticut. He is in Utah according to his post. Best thing to do would be to check the Utah laws regarding the sale of used cars. Like in this post:

They make a point of saying that if anyone rolled back an odometer, or failed to register title in 15 days, or sold a new lemon or salvage vehicle without so indicating it was salvage, then call them, Otherwise, buyer beware. It seems a clear case of a dealer knowing they had a high mileage used BMW, not wanting to do anything with it, and wholesaling it off, clearly marked "As Is". I don't understand all the comments throughout this thread suggesting the dealer is somehow liable. Sure, the sale rep sounds optimistic about this mythical $300 sensor, but if the sale document makes note of there being no verbal warranties, then it doesn't matter at all.

As Is is a very simple concept. There vehicle is accepted as it is presented. There are no warranties, either implied or explicit. Buyer beware. First question to ask yourself is, why is the dealer selling a car As Is? Because they know there are issues, or are likely to be issues, and they want no part of it. The main thing to check on an As Is sale is that the price is low enough for the purchaser to accept all the risk.
