"AS IS" means exactly that. You agreed to accept the car with absolutely no guarantees or recourse.
NewThe first answer is right. But, if the dealer hide or not disclosed to you what's wrong with the car, you may try the "Small Claims Court." But then again you must prove to the Judge your case. It's a 50/50 chance.

What can you do if a car is bought from a used dealer and there is something wrong with it?
In the UK, if the vehicle is not fit for the road, the dealer can be fined and even have his licence to trade withdrawn. In most cases the dealer, if he was unaware of the defect, will repair it. However there may be clauses in the contract specifying what he is liable for. So it is a case of caveat emptor.

You bought a used car from a friend 2 weeks later motor went out do you have any rights?
If you bought the car "As Is" then you have no rights unless you can prove the seller knew the engine was about to fail. If he is a real friend he should agree to share the cost of repair with you 50/50 which would be fair if he did not know the engine had a problem. I hope you learned a lesson I learned years ago. Never ever buy or sell anything to a friend or family member. NEVER!
