Voided Factory Warranties on Used Vehicles

Some used car buyers are attracted to used vehicles that have some of the  original factory warranty remaining (this is different from any type of a Dealers' warranty.) Generally, there are three sources for used vehicles with remaining original factory warranty; rental vehicles, leased vehicles, and individual owners that trade their vehicles in before the warranty expires.

Be cautious, these newer previously owned vehicles have a higher than average chance of odometer tampering and/or accident damage which will void their warranty.

If you are buying a used vehicle with remaining factory warranty - have it professionally inspected for odometer tampering, previous accident damage, abuse and misuse, all of which can be grounds for voiding any remaining warranty. Determining the true condition of a used vehicle is the responsibly of the buyer.
