Add Age Warranty For Free

If you're buying a car that's no longer covered by the manufacturer warranty or you want additional coverage after it expires, you may buy an extended warranty for an extra fee.

You can buy extended warranties from auto dealers, vehicle manufacturers and independent companies. Dealers often suggest purchasing an extended warranty when you buy a car, but you can buy one at any time.

After the manufacturer's warranty expires, the extended warranty can be used for up to an additional four years. It is important to remember that the total duration of the extended warranty and the manufacturer's warranty cannot exceed five years.

An extended car warranty is a service contract that drivers can purchase in order to pay for repairs to a vehicle's major systems, including the transmission and engine. Drivers can purchase an extended warranty from a third-party company, like Carchex or Endurance, or directly from their vehicle's manufacturer.

Yes, you can always purchase an extended warranty after your manufacturer's warranty ends. Though most modern automakers have a clause that requires car owners to enroll in an extended warranty program before the manufacturer's warranty program ends.

Keep in mind that extended car warranties don't cover regular maintenance or wear-and-tear damage. Additionally, you could void your extended car warranty if you don't take your car in for regular maintenance. If you aren't able or willing to stick to the schedule, the extended warranty is probably not worth it.

Even if you don't mind spending money on repairs, an extended warranty may be worth it. Even if you get a settlement for less than the replacement cost of your purchase, the market value of your purchase may be covered rather than the total purchase price.
