When we purchase new vehicles we go online line direct to Factory Warranty for that vehicle and save bundles. Factory Warranty is transferable to new owners!

3rd party usually shaft you and like to not pay. Carmax pretty decent, or the oem (-manufacturer ie ford warranty / ford gold certified PO

[sidharthchand]

probably getting a pre-purchased inspection is better than a warranty

[crackerbarrel]

No such thing. You can’t “extended” an auto manufacturers warranty. No auto manuafacturer will extend a warranty. It’s simply third party insurance to cover repair bills outside the original warranty. “Extended warranty” is simply a marketing ploy.

I was paying for a warranty on my BMW..absolutely everything that failed and had to be replaced was NOT covered by the warranty!🫤
