When a car manufacturer gives four year or 40000 miles factory warranty on vehicle does the go with original owner?

The terms and conditions of factory warranties can vary between different car manufacturers and specific vehicle models. In general, a factory warranty provides coverage for repairs or replacements of parts that fail due to defects in materials or workmanship. The warranty period typically starts from the date of the vehicle's purchase or delivery to the first retail customer. While some warranties might be transferable, it's essential to refer to the specific warranty document provided by the manufacturer to understand the exact terms and conditions.

Most factory warranties are limited to the original owner of the vehicle and are not transferable to subsequent owners unless explicitly stated otherwise in the warranty document. This means that if you purchase a used car, the remaining factory warranty coverage may no longer apply to you, and you may need to purchase an extended warranty or rely on the used car dealership's warranty (if available).

Therefore, it's crucial to verify the warranty coverage and its transferability when buying a used car. Check the vehicle's maintenance records, warranty documentation, and contact the car manufacturer or authorized dealership to confirm the remaining warranty details and any conditions related to transferring the warranty.
