Non-transferable warranties?

minorl

If I buy a car with a 100,000 mile/four year warranty and I sell the car after two years with 20,000 miles on it. That car is still under warranty.

There may be exceptions, but I’m not aware of any vehicle manufacturer that offers a transferable warranty on a new car. It would still be obligated to fulfill NHTSA recall orders, but that’s it.

There are manufacturer CPO programs that include a factory-backed warranty, but that’s different. The cost of the warranty is built into the sale price of the vehicle. The same vehicle, sold on the open market without the CPO designation, will cost less every time.

I think transferable warranties are more the exception than the rule in hifi. And as mcintech stated, it's often a warranty requirement that the item be purchased new from an authorized dealer.
