How Important is a Warranty on a Used Car?

1 July

Contemplating the significance of a warranty on a used car warrants careful consideration.

An Extended Warranty on a Used Car serves as a safeguard against unforeseen mechanical and electrical failures providing a buffer against potential repair expenses.

We find that purchasing extended car warranty is a common exercise when someone buys a Used Car because they are not the only owner of the vehicle. The uncertainty of how the vehicle has been driven in the past and the Service History play a factor in purchasing some added security to protect your investment.

Be sure to note that when you purchase a Used Car from a car dealership, in most cases you will receive a mandatory 3-month statutory warranty. So if anything goes wrong within those 90 days, the dealership is required to fix it. If you purchase a Used Car privately, you will not have this cover.

Purchasing an extended car warranty from Auto Auto enables you the flexibility to select your commencement date to enjoy the longest coverage. For example, you can set the coverage to start the day after your statutory warranty expires, or if the Used Car still has a balance of manufacturer warranty, you can select coverage to commence the day after that expires to get continual coverage.

Having warranty cover on a Used Car is a popular choice but not essential. Multiple factors come into the decision, and you will never experience pressure selling from us at Auto Auto.
