An unpaid warranty

[Monkeylegend]

Out of interest did the cost of the warranty show as a separate itemised cost on your invoice from the trader or was it wrapped up in the price of the car?

Wrapped up in the price of the car. I've begun a claim through chargeback with my bank. Worth a go.

There is no obligation for a dealer to supply a warranty on a used car.

See, also, my earlier comment about warranty funds.

Thanks roo.

I have just recently bought a car with a 6 month warranty included in the price of the car. I suppose technically they could argue the warranty is free.

Good luck with the claim back.

Well it appears as an item on my receipt but with no cost. Hence I've phoned the company to get a cost.
I thiught by going through a main dealer I was minimising risk, you live and learn.

I thought it was some two bit back street garage? Main dealer?

Ok so to clarify. I bought my used car from a dealership- this dealership I believe was a family run business with a contact with a car make. That car make pulled out and so they folded...

A franchise dealer will, ordinarily, get two years notification of termination.

Doesn't help you, I know, but it's unlikely they still had anything to do with the manufacturer they used to represent.

Well they were still flogging their vehicles.
They had two garages with different manufacturers and apparently both pulled out same week:..
I'm not sure me contacting the manufacturer would help anyway as I didn't buy one of their vehicles.

What exactly did you buy? How much was it and the warranty? A 6 month warranty on a decent car isn't that much is it?

Just to update the chargeback scheme worked.
So if you like me bought something on a debit card that you never received due to them folding etc. well worth trying chargeback. Result.

Great news! You won't forget to repay the bank if the administrator coughs up some dosh too, will you?
