How is the warranty generally handled for used cars?
1 Answers
When purchasing a used car that is still under warranty, it is advisable to have maintenance and repairs done at a 4S shop to the greatest extent possible to protect your legal rights. This is because if the car is not serviced at an official 4S shop during the warranty period, the manufacturer may consider the owner to have forfeited the warranty. If quality issues arise during the warranty period, the manufacturer will not provide warranty coverage. Below is relevant information: 1. Warranty Period: Generally, the warranty period for ordinary family cars is two years. For urban commuting, the mileage within this period is unlikely to exceed 50,000 kilometers, and the probability of quality issues arising within this range is relatively low. This means that used cars within the warranty period are more worry-free to use. Once the mileage exceeds 60,000 kilometers, minor issues are more likely to occur, and the owner will then have to bear the repair costs. If the total mileage exceeds 60,000 kilometers during the warranty period, it is recommended that the owner conducts a comprehensive inspection at a 4S shop before the warranty expires to save on potential future costs. 2. Note: When purchasing a used car, if the vehicle is still under warranty, be sure to inquire in detail about the warranty terms and request the detailed maintenance manual from the previous owner to protect your legal rights to the greatest extent.
