I sold a vehicle that is in good physical and running shape that I had no problems with. But the customer that I sold it to is saying it has many problems. And might want there money back, Does the customer have any legal ground? I had a bill of sale that stated " Said property is otherwise sold in "As IS" condition and where presently located" They signed the bill of sale.

While I'm not a MS attorney, "as is" means just that in a private sale. I don't think that the buyer has any legal basis for a refund. That assumes there was no fraud. Even then I'm not sure the buyer's have a leg to stand on. In my experience, that's how it worked for me here in Georgia.
Keep a copy of that document bill of sale along with a copy of the transferred title if you have it.
