You'll have to sign an "As Is" contract beforehand, thats all that I know...

Yeah, but you could specify in the terms for the vehicle that it is being sold "as-is" "where-is." Many auctions on Ebay motors indicate that no warranty is provided.

I mean before the car/money changes hands, to sign an "As-is" contract. That way you are legally protected. If someone buys your car and wants it shipped, I'd send them a copy of the contract registered mail or something, then have them send a cashier's check and the signed contract back registered mail. Then take the steps in shipping the car. Most likely though, you'll get someone somewhat local who will probably come pick it up...

can state law supercede a binding contract?

I doubt it. I had some conversations with a lawyer this past Summer after having some problems with a purchaser of one of my vehicles. Here in Virginia, the lawyers indicated on vehicle sales, there is no "3 day right to rescind" on a contract. Using a bill of sale such as the one I've posted only re-inforces the fact that the purchaser is taking the car "as is" at the time of purchase. However, you could check with your state or local laws to see if it's any different for your particular state. I found out quite a bit of information on the Internet, too.
