Manufacturers are not in the business of selling used goods... so why would they provide warranty for anyone other than the original owner? If you choose to buy used, to save money, then you need to weigh the pros against the unlikely chance you will ever need any warranty work and need to pay out of pocket. Simple
Non-transferable warranties?
Recently I considered buying a previously owned Schiit dac only to discover (directly from Schiit) that their product warranties are non-transferable. This was surprising and disappointing as the policy compromises resale and resale value.
Is anyone aware of other audio companies whose warranties are non-transferable?

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. |
No manufacturer of new automobiles, SUVS, trucks or other motor vehicles will extend new warrantees to those who purchase used, preowned, or otherwise previously registered and titled vehicles with the exception of a dealer "demo" or on a factory certified used vehicle but that is not a new warrantee that is a warrantee on a used car with often extended mileage as a consequence and result. |
