Do Cars Come with a Warranty?
2 Answers
Generally, household cars come with a warranty period of no less than 3 years or 60,000 kilometers. The warranty period and the three-guarantee validity period for automotive products are calculated from the date the seller issues the purchase invoice. Below is relevant information: 1. Car Warranty Period: The car warranty period, also known as the quality guarantee period, is typically defined by two conditions set by the manufacturer: time and mileage, whichever comes first. The car warranty period refers to the timeframe during which the car manufacturer promises to provide free repairs and maintenance for faults caused by quality issues after selling the product to consumers. Nowadays, most car manufacturers implement a new vehicle warranty period of "2 years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first." 2. Warranty Conditions: Recently, the "Regulations on the Recall of Defective Automotive Products" was passed and implemented by the State Council executive meeting, which means that this departmental rule, involving vehicle recalls and the rights of millions of car owners nationwide, has finally been elevated to an administrative regulation. The introduction of this "Recall Regulation" is considered by many experts as a policy prelude to the long-awaited "Automobile Three-Guarantees."
I've bought several cars before, and now I'm driving an SUV. I feel like cars generally come with warranties, especially new ones. Manufacturers usually provide a standard warranty period, typically three years or 100,000 kilometers, covering some common failures like engine and transmission issues. My first car was a domestic brand with a very short warranty, but later when I switched to a German car, the after-sales service was much better, even covering electronic components. When buying a used car, you also need to pay attention—some dealers offer short-term warranties, and you can pay to extend them. I suggest you always confirm the warranty terms in the contract before buying a car to avoid being misled. Regular maintenance and timely checks at the 4S shop are important, so any issues can be fixed promptly, saving you money. The warranty has a big impact on the car's price and lifespan, so don't overlook it.
