In many states the provision of a new car warranty with any new car purchase is the law, a lot of prospective new car buyers pay little or no attention to the new car warranty during the purchasing transactions. They take it for granted that they have received a new car warranty, and even more dangerous, they simply assume that this means that all repairs or part replacements on the car is covered as part of the warranty.
Far from the case, the new car warranty can only benefit the new car owner who understands the new car warranty and how to use it. It is simply not a ‘go free’ card that is meant to cover the cost of all your repairs for as long as the warranty says it’s valid. On the other hand, the new car warranty usually comprises of several sections, all with stipulations and guidelines regarding what you are and are not entitled to as the holder of this warranty. The warranty may, for example, state that its coverage is for a total of five years, and you may well assume you are covered for all of this period. However, on closer examination, you will find that the basic coverage may only have been valid for three years – the other two would be engine coverage alone.Â

Typically, the used car warranty comprises of more than one type of warranty coverage, all of which are issued or generated by the manufacturer of the vehicle or by an independent dealer with authorization from the car manufacturer.
One of the primary coverage type provided by all new car warranties is the basic coverage warranty. This warranty covers every part of the vehicle except those parts of the new vehicle which are subject to regular wear and tear damages associated with common or daily use of the vehicle. Note that some basic warranties may be more basic than others, so that not really all parts which are assumed to be covered under this provision are really covered. For your own gain, it is important that you read the buyer’s guide carefully upon purchasing the vehicle to ensure that these points are clear in your own mind’s eye.
Another popular warranty coverage included within the new car warranty is the drive train warranty, also known as the power train warranty. It is simply described as that which provides coverage for all the parts of the vehicle which are responsible for its motion (includes engine and axles, for instance). Clear differentiations however are also made as it relates to this coverage since wear and tear damages are not covered.

The new car warranty is meant to provide the owner of the new car with an assurance, so to speak, from the vehicle manufacturer that his new vehicle is of the advertised quality. Once the new owner takes the vehicle home and finds that it does not function as the manufacturer said it would, then he would be fully entitled to either have the manufacturer (or dealer) repair or replace the cause of the problem at no cost to himself, or he could opt to have his vehicle replaced with another.
Without the new car warranty, the manufacturer would in no way be responsible nor would he be held liable for anything that goes wrong with the car after its purchase. It is very rarely the case however that a manufacturer would issue a vehicle without the new car warranty, for this is also the manufacturer’s way of assuring the public of the best quality vehicles that they produce, and by extension it is his way of marketing either his name or the vehicle type in question. For the very reason also, most manufacturers pay careful attention to honoring the claims made by clients – so long as it is with reason.Â

An aftermarket auto warranty has the advantages of being able to both extend the life of an existing warranty and its coverage benefits. It is therefore commonly referred to as the extended warranty. The aftermarket auto warranty is one that, unlike the new or used auto warranty, must be purchased from a dealer. The good thing about this purchase however is that you are not bound to purchase the aftermarket auto warranty from the same dealer as you bought your vehicle from, nor do you have to buy the aftermarket auto warranty in the very instance that you buy your vehicle.
When purchasing your aftermarket auto warranty, it is almost always advised not to purchase it from the dealership company where you bought your car – simply because dealers usually mark up the price of the warranty to exorbitant prices at your expense. In addition, a dealer might try to impress upon you the importance of purchasing the warranty right then and there – do not be fooled. This is only salesman talk to try to trick your money out of your hands. The aftermarket auto warranty is merely an extension of a warranty that you would already have; and in the instances where it is to be used exclusively as your only warranty, remember that you could purchase it for more than half the price in some instances from independent dealers or providers.

After buying a car there are a number of recurring expenses that an owner has to bear. These expenses are related to the maintenance and servicing of the car. Whenever you travel by your car there always exist a risk that some or the other problem can creep in the car’s machinery. Car is a complicated machine and it is composed of a number of parts. There are always chances of some or the other part going wrong.
Money spent in getting the car fault corrected is only an extra expense.
Is there a way to get rid of this expense?
Yes, certainly there is. Whenever you buy a new car there is an option you can choose. This option is to get your car warranted. The new cars are warranted by a few companies against fees. This fee that is charged may appear to be big initially, but it certainly is an investment that would help you save lots of money that you will have to spent to get your car repaired.
The new car buyers can get this warranty done either through the dealer or directly through the company that is providing this facility. One should not miss this opportunity while buying a new car.

Are you in dismay because your new car has suddenly developed an engine problem only six months after purchasing it? Or probably you have only just started to notice certain kinks in your new car that were not there a few months ago. I agree that these are indeed good cause for concern – but not if you have your new car warranty at hand.
The new car warranty should be able to cover the cost of repairs or replacement for your new car according to its stipulations so that you do not have to worry about this yourself. All new car warranties should give you at least one year of coverage – some warranty coverage could extend from two years to even five years. But regardless of the time limit on your coverage, you can be assured that at least the first year after purchase is covered by your new car warranty.Â
Do not jump for joy yet, some warranties would provide full coverage while others would provide only limited coverage. Also, some warranties could even specify the type of coverage that the new owner would be entitled to. So before you start to fuss about which mechanic should do your repairs, check your new car warranty to confirm whether or not the type of repair that you require is covered – and if it is then take your car directly to the authorized car dealer for servicing and repairs.

The new car warranty is an important fact in the new car purchase. It is basically the manufacturer’s way of assuring that the vehicle would perform as they say it should. The warranty itself could provide one of a number of types of coverage.
One of the best coverage that you could get with your new car warranty is the bumper-to-bumper warranty. This type of warranty provides coverage for all the parts of the car excluding those that are susceptible to wear and tear damages. The wear and tear coverage feature is another type of warranty coverage altogether – it covers all the parts of the car that may need replacing due to wear and tear damages. The general difference between these two types of warranty is that the bumper-to-bumper coverage facilitates the repair of the damaged parts while the wear and tear warranty facilitates the replacement of worn out parts that may be of no further use to the vehicle.
The new car warranty coverage could also include a power train coverage feature. This type of warranty covers the major parts of the car, which are usually the most costly to repair or replace. Such parts would normally include the engine, transmission and suspension of the new vehicle.

Warranty is a service rendered by the dealer towards repair and maintenance of the vehicle for a fixed period of time. The warranty takes care of the cost of the repair and replacement of minor spare parts. However, the warranty does not take care of the cost of certain parts. In a warranty, there are two categories. The first category is new car warranty, issued to brand new cars. The second category is aftermarket auto warranty, issued to used cars or pre-owned cars.
The new car warranty is issued by the vehicle dealer in association with a third party vendor. Before finalizing the warranty, evaluate at least six different offers from various third party vendors. The warranty takes care of the vehicle’s drive train, power train, engine, steering mechanism, brake mechanism and other technical aspects.
The new car warranty is available in two options. The first option is based on the distance covered by the car. It could be between 3,000 miles to 30,000 miles covered by the car from the date of its registration. The second category is the number of days. It could be between three months to 30 months. The warranty period will be available against these two options. It is recommended that a car owner opts for a flexible warranty. It will give the car owner the option of changing the warranty if the service provided is dissatisfactory.

The new car warranty is a coverage plan provided by the new vehicle manufacturer as they assure you of the quality of car that you have purchased from them. Essentially it is supposed to be a guarantee that the vehicle would perform as specified in the user’s guide, and any deviations to the fact would be covered by the manufacturer until a period specified.
Despite the manufacturer’s guarantee that nothing should go wrong with your car during the period of coverage, one would find that general maintenance and wear and tear damages on the car do occur from the moment you drive it. Most new car warranties therefore tend to shy away from including such provisions within the coverage that they provide. Sometimes though, you would be able to benefit from special deals which facilitate free servicing for a limited time period, after which you would have to pay for the regular maintenance of your vehicle by the company (since most warranties also stipulate that only the warranty authorized companies should service their vehicles). Also, while it is hardly likely that the new car would suffer a breakdown within the first few years of its purchase (that is, during the warranty period), do tend to include breakdown coverage within their warranty contracts.

Purchasing a new car is probably the biggest investment that any individual would make in his entire life after the purchase of a property. It is therefore a good idea for the person considering this purchase to review carefully the benefits associated with the deals offered by different dealers and manufacturers alike – the new car warranty included.
The new car warranty is one of the biggest bargaining tools that any dealer would attempt to use on you. But do not be easily fooled – the new car warranty is something that you are entitled to with your new car purchase. So when the dealer tries to impress you with the inclusion of a new car warranty free of charge, do not fall easy prey.
You won’t lose with the new car warranty is the terms and conditions of the new car warranty. The warranty may cover your new vehicle up to a certain amount of years, or it may cover the vehicle for a specified amount of miles covered. Some warranties offer coverage up to which ever comes first. Consider which is better for you, and negotiate carefully – if you plan to use your vehicle to cover large distances, you should try to negotiate for the time-frame coverage instead.
