How can you check to see if a used car that you%26#039;re thinking about buying still has its warranty?
If the car is with in the 3yr/36k new car warranty there should be no problem. If the car has a extended warranty to my knowledge my not be transferable. If with in the 3 yr you can get the vin# call any dealer of the brand and they can run the vin# and tell you the date of expiration. If ext wrty. get the paper work and read the whole contract. If you don%26#039;t understand it call the wrty company. I would call two different times to see if you get the same answer. Good Luck

Most dealerships will offer a free car-fax report and provide the warranty in writing. Individuals can show you their warranty papers but will usually make you pay for the car fax report.





You can always go to the brand of the cars website to verify their warranties.
Reply:What dave failed to mention in the long %26quot;non-answer%26quot; is that not all warranties are transferrable. Ask the dealer to show you and if you do a deal on the car make sure you get it in writing that the remainder of the manufacturers warranty is transferred to you.
