An opinion or recommendation does not form an express warranty. Sales talk–for example, “This car runs like a dream”–will not create an express warranty. However, statements such as “This car needs no repairs,” or “This car has a V-8 engine,” will create an express warranty.

Whenever a seller gives any description, makes any declaration of fact, or makes any promise on which the buyer relies when deciding to make the purchase, the seller creates an express warranty. A seller may create an express warranty orally, in writing, or through an advertisement.

A warranty is a guarantee of the product’s quality and performance. A warranty may be written or oral. The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) provides for three kinds of warranties given by a car seller: an express warranty, an implied warranty of merchantability, and an implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. A seller may also sell a car “as is,” which means it is not covered by any warranties.
