Warranty Tips For Used Cars
Tips on buying warranty for used cars
Used car buyers need to get their money's worth as soon as their
purchase has been confirmed. New or not, cars should have
warranties. It is a right, not a privilege.
The following are tips to better your chances of getting the
best warranty for your money. Know what you are buying
Some people who avail themselves of auto warranty coverage
usually have a notion that they are purchasing a special shield
that protects their vehicle from unnecessary wear and tear.
Though this is true, this idea is primarily bound to a contract
that the buyer should read prior to signing anything. There are
instances when consumers buy a used car then expect the warranty
company to get their cars back in shape for them. Buyers then
unnecessarily file a complaint and get angry once their request
is denied simply because their understanding of the conditions
that constitute the warranty differs from what the warranty
company has explicitly stated on their contract. It is advisable
therefore to read in order to avoid uncalled for weeping.
See through the "lies."
Do not believe when auto warranty companies claim that their
warranty can not be refunded. One hundred percent of extended
car warranties are refundable within thirty days provided no
claims have been made. If in any instance you feel that you were
in some way forced to purchase or getl a Ford, Hyundai or Honda
warranty that you didn't want, do not hesitate to get your money
back.
Sift through their trashing
If a warranty company has a good enough standing, it does not
need to trash the competition or badmouth the other company's
warranty contract. You need to see them point out their own
warranty company merits, offers and packages and not the
competitor's "worthless" clauses in order to make a sale. Though
it is a competitive world out there, the only way to stand out
is to offer excellent and ethical service. In this case, action
speaks louder than words.
Avoid buying auto warranty from you dealer
Though it is extremely convenient to do so, the effects are
short-term. The price car dealers' offer for extended auto
warranty, believe it or not, is usually two to three times
higher than the normal rate. Plus, their contracts have far too
many limitations and unfair clauses that buying warranties from
first-rate warranty companies that provide better service for
half the price, is a clearer and - should be - the only option.
