Apparently it's not common knowledge that a second owner can take on the balance of a new car warranty, if it's still 'good'.

Not all warranties are transferrable, some are only partially so: it pays to do your homework and do business with a name-brand dealership if a warranty is part of the 'wish list' you're shopping with.

Thank you for the heads up, Dodge. Well, our car warranty has lapsed, actually. But I'll definitely keep this in mind for when I buy my own car. Right now am sharing with hubby.

I had NO idea that was possible, and yes I am going to keep it under consideration when I buy my next set of wheel.

Thanks for that very informative link Dodge Roll. The long list of cars with their corresponding warranty terms is absolutely useful. The so-called "downside" is reasonable, but I presume that the warranty contracts provide a longer list of grounds for refusal of the manufacturer to replace some parts.
