" You are definitely on your own when doing business with these guys. "
That's pretty much what "as is" means, wouldn't you say? If they'd wanted to stand behind the car, they would have given you a warranty.
Two things. One, if you're going to buy "as is", you need to get a mechanic to inspect it before you buy. They can spot obvious issues like the ones you had. If you decide to pass on getting it inpected, you're rolling the dice with your money Two, this is not an issue with this specific used car dealer. What you describe is common at most used car dealer that sell cars "as is" with no warranty. Something to keep in mind next time you go shopping.
