warranty2Now that we have talked a little bit about the cars and what exactly they cover, let’s go ahead and move on over to how long the warranties can last.  This all depends on you and what exactly you might want.  There are many different options, but the typical warranty lasts about three years or 36,000 miles.

If you decide to get yourself an extended warranty, you certainly do not have to worry about the time frame quite so much, as the typical extended warranty is up to 10 years of 100,000 miles, which is a pretty decide warranty if you do not drive a whole, whole lot.

You also want to make sure that you take a look at the warranty to ensure which one you are getting.

istock-000005537869xsmall1Auto Warranties – what are they?  They are typically something that you get whenever you purchase a brand new car, but do you really know exactly what they cover and exactly what the warranty is all about.  That is what we are going to talk about in the next couple blogs, exactly what the warranty is, what it covers and how long it lasts.

Auto warranties actually come in two different kinds if you are buying a new car and the first one is going to be bumper-to-bumper.  This covers everything but things that wear and tear, like the brakes or the tires.  So if something falls off?  It is covered under the warranty.

If you opt for a powertrain warranty, that actually just covers everything that makes the car move, like the engine as well as the transmission.  More in the next blog about how long they last!
