depends on the terms. you can either state you are not responsible when you sell it or will give a refund before x amount of days. probably hand write a contract or something.

Make sure you say on the bill of sale sold as is with the mileage when sold and that you accept no responsibility in repairs after the date you sell it

if you know it will fail, then this is an absolute must. Otherwise you are not being very fair to your buyer.
if transaction has already occurred, and then it failed, it is on the buyer. It is his fault for not having a mechanic look at the car prior to buying.
x3 on all of that.

after he leaves your driveway there is no legal action he can take against you. just for good practice, write up a bill of sale and state the vehicle is sold as is, no warranty.

When you write the bill of sale, just say as is no warranty etc. and have the buyer sign it.
