Why do I keep getting calls about car warranty?

Should you buy a warranty on a used car?
In general, we don’t recommend buying an extended warranty on a used car. Warranty companies are in business to make money, and they’ve usually done their homework. This means you’ll likely spend more on the warranty than any repair costs your car may accrue during the period when the warranty is valid.
Can you return a car you bought from a dealer?
The dealer who sold you the car is usually not legally obligated to take the car back and issue you a refund or exchange after you’ve signed the sales contract. Some dealerships may allow you to return the vehicle if you’re unsatisfied or if the car has major mechanical issues, but only under special circumstances.
What is the average cost of a used car warranty?
Typically, the average extended warranty for used cars cost ranges from $350-$700 per year, but every person and policy is different. Here are a few factors that help determine price: Age/Mileage– Typically, cars with a higher age or mileage will have higher prices. But this isn’t always the case.
How long is a used car under warranty?
Once you look over what’s covered, along with other details like the expiration date/mileage, you can reach out to the manufacturer to verify it’s accurate. A car manufacturer’s warranty often covers a vehicle’s first three years or 36,000 miles, though powertrain warranties may last longer.
What rights do I have buying a used car?
If you’ve bought a used car that turns out to be faulty, then you are covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015. This means that you are entitled to a full refund if you take the car back to the dealer within 30 days of purchase if you can prove that the fault was already there when you purchased the car.
