Picture the scene, you’ve just test driven your dream used car. The price is right, your ready for the handshake and you think what if something goes wrong with the car? You ask the salesperson; its a question they know how to answer because its asked so regularly; they rush to reassure you that because all their cars come with a three month warranty you have nothing to worry about, right?
In most cases used vehicle retailers are very good at resolving issues post purchase. Changes in legislation in recent years as well as the increased burden of consumer duty makes it almost impossible for car dealers to escape their responsibilities however a “three month warranty” may not always be a comprehensive cover and may just be provided to protect against major component failure such as engine and gearbox. In most cases the car dealer will take their own approach maybe using a combination of a third party warranty provider to cover major issues with a view to addressing minor issues in house.
Ultimately its the customers responsibility to ensure they check the coverage being provided to ensure its suitable for their needs, if its not, ask to be quoted for an upgrade. Generally this is something used car retailers are happy to provide.
