The warranty and a used car

The warranty and a used car

They are many different types of warranties when it comes to purchasing a new or used car. You can have to think about the warranty and what it means for you. If you are purchasing a used car and you aren't getting a warranty, you may want to reconsider the deal, because if the dealer won't back the sale with their good name, it's not worth it. There are many things that will cause you to be concerned and your warranty is one of them. 

The first type if the warranty is "as is." This means there is not warranty. However, if the seller said that they would repair the car or cancel your sale if your not happy within the first thirty days, then get it in writing.

They don't have to, so unless you have it in writing there is no way that you can legally enforce them to keep their end of the deal. In addition, even though it is a verbal contract, verbal contracts are not good enough for you to enforce in a court of law. It is their word against you. Also, check you state because if they do not disclose as "as is," then in Louisiana, New Hampshire, and Washington, will not see it that way.

Then you have implied warranties. There is no need to talk about them because most dealers are not dumb enough to let a warranty be implied. That is why you will usually see "as is" written in the deal. However, they may also offer you a warranty of merchantability. 

They are selling a car and it will do what they say it will. It gives you some coverage if the car dies, but the little things are not covered. This is not something that you would want in a used car. If you get a warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, you are covered if the car does not perform a certain duty like the seller said. So if they calm it can pull a trailer, then it should. If it does not do the job then you are covered.

The best two warranties that you can get for a used car are an extended warranty that lists everything that it covers prior to signing or an unexpired manufacturer's warranty. The expired is the best because everything is covered and the car company pays for the faults. If you get an extended warranty you will pay extra for it, however, you should know that it is well worth it. 

For a small fee, you can be insured for thousands of dollars. You usually get the transmission and the engine covered, the little things may not be covered, but it saves a lot of money when it comes to the big things. If you have to purchase a used car, never get one with some type of warranty, hopefully and extended or unexpired warranty.
