Tricks of the trade as it relates to the used car warranty

Although the used car warranty is one that should be automatically transferred along with the sale of the used car, often times the person buying the used car ends up with no warranty coverage at all. This may be due to the fact that the car purchase transaction may have been a private affair or that the person buying the vehicle is ignorant of the facts of the sale and gives the car dealer opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

All used car dealers are authorized to provide warranty coverage for the used car being sold to the unsuspecting buyer. The problem is that not many people are aware of this and they fall into the ‘as is’ trap. While the used car dealer is bound by law to include a used car warranty in any sale transaction of a used car that he may be involved in, he can get around the red tape by clearly stating upon the purchase of the vehicle that it is sold as is. Even if he does not take the time to explain any of this to you, so long as you agree to the purchase of the used vehicle which is advertised to be sold ‘as is’, you automatically forfeit all rights to hold that dealer accountable for a bad vehicle that he may have sold you.
