Here are some top tips on what you should be looking for in your coverage for a warranty:
What is covered in your standard warranty?
Usually a warranty will cover your vehicle for a certain amount of time or a distance that you will drive.
If you see that a used vehicle is guaranteed, there is a good chance that it will come with some form of warranty such as a 60 day lot warranty or 20,000 km warranty. Check what the standard warranty implies.
Service warranties
There are certified renowned programs that offer service warranties. These will give you a service discount or cover the cost of oil changes, brake pads or other failures to a certain KM value or a certain amount of time into owning the vehicle.
The offer of extended warranties:
An extended warranty could be worth it for certain vehicles. You may be able to extend your standard warranty to a 5-year span or renew your warranty before it expires.
Extended warranties can cover 3-5 extra years on average and take some of the costs out of owning your vehicle out. If you sell your vehicle again, there is even a chance that the extended warranty may carry over to the next owner.
