A car warranty refers to the repair and maintenance service provided by the car dealer in association with a third party vendor. The warranty will be applicable for a specified period of time from the date of sale of the car. Warranty can be renewed or changed as per the wish of the car owner. Used car warranty refers to warranty issued to pre-owned cars. When compared to a new car warranty, a used car warranty is slightly more expensive.

 

While purchasing a used car warranty, review at least five different offers from third party vendors. It is important to review the warranty offers since fraudulent offers might be in circulation. The fraudulent warranties offer services promised that are never delivered to the car owner. Beware of such fraudulent offers. Car owners have the right to pull the dealer and the third party vendor to court in the case of fraudulent offers. Car owners are protected against fraud under the US federal law, which is popularly known as the lemon law.

 

While selecting a used car warranty, it is advisable to opt for a short duration warranty initially. This gives you an opportunity to evaluate the services of the warranty. If you are not satisfied with the service, you always have the freedom of changing the warranty.
