Used Car Warranty Advice

A car warranty is something you absolutely need in a used vehicle. When you buy a new car it usually comes with a three years or 36000 miles warranty or more, whichever comes first.

An extended warranty saves you a lot of money on breakdowns or generic repairs. You should check some things before getting an extended warranty.

If you purchase your car from a local dealer you might get a limited short-term warranty (usually one or more months) thus it would pointless buying an extended warranty when you already have one active.

Moreover you should check the original manufacturer warranty because if the car you're buying is rather new it might still be effective

When you're choosing an extended warranty it's recommended that you go with a company that has positive customer reviews, or that you can trust based on something like this (experiences of friends, relatives etc).

Always make sure that every contract you make has everything clearly written (this doesn't apply only for auto warranties...). Some companies offer a money back guarantee that protects you in case you don't want to stay with them after you actually purchased the warranty.
