Can I sell a car with a malfunctioning airbag sensor?

Question:
The airbag sensor on my 2000 Focus (that I have for sale) went bad. The warning light is always on for past 5 days. The Ford dealer wants $500 to fix it, after charging $100 to diagnose it. Can I sell the car without fixing this? Is it legal?

You can sell it but make sure you have them sign a waiver explaining what is broken, the cost to fix it, and the dangers of not getting it fixed. You keep a copy as well. That way you have covered the three basics...Make them aware, offer ways to repair, and told them the warnings of not fixing it.

It is a safety problem. If I am a buyer, I will ask this question. "Is there any problems with the car?". What would you say? You can sell it provided you disclose the problem when selling the car, if your selling it privately. You said the Ford dealer wants $500 to fix it and $100 for diagnostic test. You can subtract $600 to $1,000 of your asking price (the amount you want to sell).
