How to Buy Extended Warranties for new cars and used cars, avoid dealer scams 

Is we have heard about this many times over the years where people don't notice it until they get home on the paperwork.

Never, ever let them rush you and stop and read!!!!

Dealers do this all the time. They even lie to people asking about it, and they say no, but when the person gets home and reviews the papers, they find it.

Yes, that is why car dealers push them so hard on you, and lie to you and tell you that if you don't buy it now, you'll never be able to get it. This is why we recommend buying your warranty online directly from the warranty companies, and save on the extra icing on the cake that would have gone to the middle man car dealer.

Yes, some warranties will have "wear and tear" as an exclusion. the more expensive warranties allow wear and tear.

And to add too, this the car had 160k miles. No company should ever offer a warranty on a car with that amount of millage and blame things on wear and tear. There is no way of telling what was done to the car, weather the old owners actually took care of it. You have to read the fine print and always have a car checked out by a trusted mechanic before you buy it. If your dealer offers a warranty at a good price your better of buying from them then if your engine blows and it should be covered you have a foot to stand on because you bought the warranty from the same place as the car. Currently going through a similar issue at work where the warranty company doesn't want to cover but we sold her a warranty with the car a few months back. Either way we're going to take care of the car for her because she only had for a short time even tho the lemon law warranty was up.

need to always be able to prove where the failure is. Also they like to deny a failure repair when the root cause is an uncovered part. that's what we like exclusionary coverage rather than named component coverage.

The coverage applies to the agreement, does not matter the car brand, the agreement is between you and the warranty administrator

We usually tell people with a used car not to use the warranty for 60 days because it sends up red flags and they often try to claim pre-existing condition and reject your claim for the repair.

Wait 60 to 90 days

Sales people in any company are under pressure to sell I'm sure.

True our #1 rules for buying a used car that we always tell people is too have the car inspected before you buy put it up on a lift and also run a vehicle history report on it

Yes if you buy a warranty we always try for no deductible agreements

@@carbuying I recently bought a 2018 certified pre owned Honda Civic. I was a able to buy a Honda Care warranty from an out of state dealer for $690. Coverage is 5 years, 70k miles $0 deductible.

Glad to hear you stood your ground! At least next time the dealers won't fool you.

That's why we keep educating consumers

If a car dealer tells you that you have to buy the extended warranty it is a lie and is illegal, and if he says this as a requirement for you getting the car loan, then it is a felony. You don't have to buy an extended warranty. Some people want one because they want a longer period of covered repairs on their car. But you don't have to buy it at the dealer, and he is lying by saying you have to buy it now or never. You can read our warranty chapter on our web site that explains everything you need to know about warranties and how to buy them cheaper yourself directly from the warranty company.

carbuyingtipscom Thank you very much for replying me back...

Yes way!

You are full of it. The lengthy BS tells us that.

Your dealership might be the diamond in the rough, but most are not like that. Ask an F&I manager for a copy of the actual warranty contract that explains the terms and what is not covered, and they will try everything to avoid giving it to you to examine.

Ha, been told that before, I'm winning! Only no porn star girlfriends

When the manufacturer's warranty expire, that's when things start to break down on the car.

@@carbuying very true! Maybe do a video on why manufacturers offer the warranty period that they do! Explain the confidence they have in the car making it 36000 miles. Also maybe point out that the cars are designed to fail at a certain interval based on maintenance and the average owner, as well as the parts manufacturers designing parts to last a set time! Point out that if they the (manufacture and parts companies) designed cars and parts to last longer then they would eventually go out of business! At a minimum they would lose a lot of money and sales numbers would drop! Same goes for everything we use if the manufacturers sold a top quality product that was designed and engineered to stand the test of time then they would not make money by selling you a new product in a few years when yours wore out! And also point out money back guarantee and lifetime warranty are a marketing scam. Less than 15% of people who buy parts use the lifetime replacement! And I think the number is even lower for lifetime warranty especially on small appliances and electronics! Sorry for the long winded rant just see a good video in the making to inform people especially the nay sayers. We as consumers have been sold this false facade of everything being consumable or throw away , we have started to accept that things are only made to last a few years and say we’ll they just don’t make them like they used to! The point is everyone saying you don’t need the warranty has drank the cool aide and is fully complacent with intentionally buying products that are designed to fail and then throwing them away or trading it in on a new one!

How to buy the wrong warranty, not read the fine print first to make sure you know what you are buying, then blaming everyone else

Just like insurance, some people make claims, others don't. On unreliable cars, it will pay for itself.

Many of the more reputable extent did warranties are good the problem is is most people buy the wrong warranty for their car or they buy the wrong coverage expecting that they have some Big Magic umbrella that covers everything that's where the problem comes in they don't stop to analyze what is not covered section of the contract

larry reynolds lol... yeah. Super covered. For a fantastic 3 years. That’s going to do you really good... not.

The extended warranty extends the coverage until 5 years typically
