In Mitsch v. General Motors Corp., 359 Ill. App. 3d 99, 833 N.E.2d 936, 295 Ill. Dec. 730 (2005), the plaintiffs bought a vehicle from Rockenbach Chevrolet, an authorized General Motors (GMC) dealership. The plaintiff also purchased GMC's extended service plan. On the purchase contract, there was a disclaimer that stated that the vehicle was being sold "as-is" and that the purchaser will bear the entire expense of repairing or correcting any defects that presently exist or that occur in the vehicle. The plaintiff signed his name directly below that provision. Within 18 months after the plaintiff purchased the vehicle, he experienced several problems, which the dealership was unable to repair. The plaintiff asserted that there was a genuine issue of material fact as to whether Rockenbach effectively disclaimed the implied warranty of merchantability in the Buyers Guide which came with the vehicle. On appeal, the plaintiff argued that the failure of the defendants to display the Buyers guide was a violation of the Act entitling the plaintiff to damages. The appellate court rejected the plaintiff's claim, holding that the plaintiff was not entitled to judgment because it was clear that there was no damage caused by the failure to provide a buyers guide with the vehicle because the plaintiff attested that he knew that the vehicle was being sold "as is." The appellate court also held that the disclaimer in the purchase agreement, which contained the term "as is," was sufficient to disclaim the implied warranty of merchantability. The court held that Rockenbach did not enter into an extended service contract with the plaintiff, because GMC, not Rockenbach was obligated to repair the plaintiff's vehicle. Therefore, Rockenbach did not breach the implied warranty of merchantability.
