A used car warranty can be quite a tricky piece of paper to get.  Among others, you must be aware of the status of any former warranties, the time frame validity on these warranties, and the coverage of the warranty that you are getting.

 

I for one know firsthand the problems that can arise when you purchase a vehicle without a warranty.  Even worse, when you purchase a vehicle with a warranty which turns out to be less than you expected, that can be quite an ugly experience.  First of all, when you purchase a used vehicle, ask about the used car warranty.  Even if it is still valid, it might be a good idea to obtain an extended warranty contract to supplement this.  This is because most used car warranties only provide limited cover on certain parts of the vehicle, not complete coverage against any type of failure or breakdown.

 

Another point to consider about your used car warranty is the company behind the refinancing of any claims that you might make.  You need to be especially careful that your used car warranty is not backed by any shoddy refinancing bodies who may try to rip you out of any legal or rightful claims, or who may not be able to pay claims at all!
