as is
Without any changes
As is means in the present condition, with no guarantees or modifications.
The phrase typically appears in sales contexts where the seller disclaims responsibility for defects: The car is sold as is.
Buying something as is means accepting it with all its flaws—no repairs, no returns, no warranties.
I'll take the couch as is, stains and all.
