Car on finance need repairing will they fix it on the warranty?

Question

i bought a car on finance and there is a few faults should the place where i bought it from put them right.

Answer 1

Where's the connection between the finance and the warranty?

Answer 2

If they gave you a warranty with the car they should fix it if it's covered in the warranty.

Answer 3

I would have thought so, after all what's the warranty for? Having said that, my mate bought a scooter on finance and after only five months the engine needed an overhaul .. which he had to pay for.

Get the paperwork out and give it a once over. Ok so the best that's going to achieve will be the fact that you're familiar with all the loopholes in the warranty but at least you'll have an idea on how you're going to approach the trader.

Amy's fella has style, dont you think. Nice one.

Answer 4

IF the car is being financed or not has nothing to do with anything. The finance company is in no way responsible for your repairs.

Now if you have a separate warranty, then it depends on what needs fixing, some things are normal wear items which the warranty does not cover.

Be careful, most older car warranties require you to PROVE to them that you performed all routine maintenance, as specified in the service manual. That means you need receipts.

Answer 5

First look at your warranty.  Often the warranties on used cars are nearly worthless and only come into effect on certain items if they have failed and have limits on each claim.  As an example, my girlfriend, now wife, bought a car with a warranty and when we had the cambelt changed there were several rather worn pulleys etc that needed replacing.  The warranty would not cover that unless they failed and damaged the engine, but then the cost of repairs woudl have been much more than the warranty limit.  

If you only bought the car recently, and the faults were not evident when you bought it, they may try to weasel out of any responsibility.  If they were evident and you did not get an agreement that they would be fixed when you bought it, they will try to weasel out.  Prepare for a tiresome and protracted slog, they perhaps you will be pleasantly surprised.  

Answer 6

it all depends on what is wrong with it. we bought a car on finance and a week or so later the turbo went. the garage said it was wear and tear and not covered. my husband told them that it wasnt our wear and tear - to cut a long story short - they did fix it but only after my husband threatened to put the car back through their show room window! if you have any difficulties, ring the finance company. as they actually own the car until you make your final payment, they will usually sort the garage out for you if you dont get any joy yourself.
