If you're not willing to cover repairs when the car breaks down, you should not be buying used cars "as is". The term has a very specific meaning. It means that once you drive away, any problems belong to you. You don't appear to be happy with those terms. Not much you can do about this car, but in the future, I strongly suggest you don't buy "as is". Your expectation that any dealer will be interested in fixing an "as is" purchase is not realistic.
If you should decide to buy an "as is" car in the future, the only way you can protect yourself is to have the car checked out by a trusted mechanic BEFORE you buy it. Anyone can take the car to the mechanic AFTER they've bought it, but it's too late then, isn't it?
