A car warranty is an essential investment in a new or used car. It really saves a lot of money on breakdowns and replacements. There are a few details that are important to research before you sign any contract regarding a warranty on a new or used automobile.
In the case of a used car, it is advisable to check the original car warranty or the extended warranty, as it may still be in effective. If the purchase is made from a dealer, there could be a short-term limited warranty, and this can save you money. In the case of a used car that is not that old, the original manufacturing warranty may be available.
The owner's manual contains all the information on general warranties that you need to know. General warranties are usually for three years or 36000 miles -- whichever comes first. They cover every part of the vehicle, other than the items specifically mentioned in the exclude list. It is advisable to check the powertrain warranty that is usually for 60,000 miles or 60 months. These warranties come into effect only after the bumper-to-bumper warranty expires, and they have a limited coverage.
When choosing an extended warranty company, it is recommended to go with a company with a reputable business history. A good customer track record is also important, as it the company's assets. The company should offer a variety of plans to choose from, and all terms and conditions should be in writing. It should be confirmed whether the company provides coverage in all the 50 states. The confirmation of a money back guarantee also helps.
Customers are advised to read the warranty document carefully, as some information can be misleading.
