It is important when purchasing a used vehicle to ensure that you receive a used car warranty law, even if the used vehicle still has a valid manufacturer’s warranty. The manufacturer’s warranty is indeed beneficial to the holder in times that his vehicle may need repairs or part replacements, as long as it is still valid. But in instances of more serious car problems, it is the present dealer of the car who bears the accountability, having taking the responsibility to sell it as such.

If, for example, you have noticed problems with your recently purchased used vehicle that were not pointed out to you before the purchase by the person selling the car, then that person (who has sold you the car) must take liability for such. You could be entitled to the free repair, or if you so chose, you could opt for a full refund or replacement vehicle. On the other hand, if you did not receive a warranty, the dealer may be able to say that you were informed of these problems before the purchase and that you bear all responsibility as such seeing as you went ahead of the purchase anyhow.
