Warranty means an undertaken executed by the car dealer to repair and maintain a vehicle for a particular period from the date of sale of the vehicle. The warranty can vary between three months and three years or based on the miles covered by the car. This period of warranty can be chosen by the customer at the time of purchasing the new car.

 

Warranties are also available for used cars. However, it is priced higher when compared to the original warranty issued to brand new cars. Therefore, the federal government has imposed restrictions on firms and agencies selling used car warranty law. It protects used car owners against discrimination. It is also called the ‘lemon law’ in the US.

 

The used car warranty law varies from state to state in the US. However, there are some uniform rules that are applicable across the US. All used car dealers have to issue some sort of warranty to the car. Any dealer failing to issue a warranty will be liable for punishment for violating the rule. There are chances of fraudulent used car warrant being palmed off to the car buyers. Go through the features of the warranty carefully before selecting one.

 

The vehicle dealer has no right to insist for a particular auto warranty. The car buyers should be given the freedom to purchase the auto warranty of their choice.
