I believe my friend got jacked on paying for an extended warranty…?
My friend purchased a car from a major brand car dealership. The car only had about 9000 miles and was told that it was a dealer owned/driven vehicle (the dealer had the car titled). The dealer explained that the 100,000/mi bumper to bumper warranty is only good for the "original" owner and so they would not get that warranty. However, if they wanted to buy an extended warranty… yada yada. They purchased the warranty to make sure they were covered. However, they’d like to fight it if possible. So, I’m wondering if the "original owner" is the "first titled owner" or if it is the "first consumer owner". Since why would the dealer need a bumper to bumper warranty on their own vehicle? Also, what I think is mostly important is that I would like to know who they can contact to find out the legal answer to this. An attorney? If yes, what kind? Etc. If they have grounds, they would like to fight it legally.

I don’t know if he got jacked or not. However, I would assume that since the car has 90,000 and the original warranty had 100,000, then there should be 10,000 transferable. However, an additional warranty is good to have if you know the history of this car to be kind of shabby, but if the dealers been using it, they must have taken care of this car all this time. Just hope he read the details on the warranty cause they don’t always cover everything.

Most vehicles have a subsequent owner warranty, (Hyundai has a 10yr 100,000 mi warranty to original owner- not dealer- and a 5 yr- 50 or 60,000 mi warranty to next owner. If the vehicle was never titled, (did not leave the dealership), and only had 9000 miles – then – I believe he got "jacked"
