New hyundai elantra or one year old elantra and loose powertrain warranty,but still retain remainder of 5/60 ?

Question

I'd be paying considerably less for a used(2007) model with around 20 k on it.

Answer 1

That extra 5 years/40K miles of powertrain warranty is worth under $500 (IMO), also you can buy extended warranties on any used car just about.  20,000 miles is nothing for a modern car, heck it hasn't even had its 1st major service yet, so if you can save $3000+ by going the used route then that is the smart way to go...should cover your insurance and maybe gas for the 1st year right there.

Answer 2

If you are not the original owner, the powertrain goes back to match the bumper to bumper warranty.

For example -

New Hyundai = 10 year, 100K powertrain and 5 year, 60K bumper to bumper.

Used Hyundai = 5 year, 60K powertrain and bumper to bumper warranty.
