What does 'unlimited years and mileage for the first owner' mean?
1 Answers
The meaning of 'unlimited mileage and years for the first owner' is that the first owner enjoys a lifetime warranty. This means that only the first owner of the vehicle can benefit from the lifetime warranty service. When the car is sold as a used vehicle, the lifetime warranty service is terminated immediately and is not extended to the next owner. A warranty refers to a quality guarantee, meaning that various components of the car can be replaced for free if they exhibit quality issues that are determined not to be caused by human damage. The reasons for offering a lifetime warranty only to the first owner are as follows: 1. The first owner clearly understands the scope of the lifetime warranty: When the car manufacturer signed the lifetime warranty agreement with the first owner, the first owner was fully aware of the coverage and other terms of the warranty. However, used car dealers often do not disclose the conditions of the lifetime warranty when selling the car. As a result, the second owner, unaware of the policy, may easily violate the warranty conditions (such as not performing maintenance at an authorized 4S shop). To avoid complications, car manufacturers implement the lifetime warranty policy only for the first owner. 2. 4S shops do not profit from the second owner: Many used car owners do not return to the original 4S shop for maintenance, which undoubtedly results in financial losses for the 4S shop. Therefore, used cars typically only qualify for warranty services during the manufacturer's warranty period. When purchasing a car, it is essential to clarify the detailed warranty coverage. Additionally, if considering an extended warranty service, it is important to understand whether there are any additional conditions (such as mandatory maintenance at an authorized 4S shop).
