Second Hand Car Warranties
One of the worries about buying a second hand car is often about how reliable the vehicle will be. Second hand car warranties can provide a good way of putting your mind at rest.
You're probably aware of the existence of car warranties, but many UK car owners seem surprised to learn that it's possible to take out a car warranty on a used car.
Indeed, independent car warranty companies have increasingly been looking to sell policies direct to the owners of used cars.
Part of the reasoning behind this move has undoubtedly been that used cars are perceived to have become much more reliable in recent years. This means that warranty companies see it as less of a risk to supply warranty on used cars.
It's also good news for the consumer, as it means that we now have access to car warranties for our second hand cars.
If you're interested in purchasing a car warranty for a second hand vehicle, then it's fairly simple to find something simple.
In most cases, you should avoid rushing along to your local car retailer to get a warranty policy put in place. Car retailers tend to sell policies at a higher price than is available elsewhere.
Many used car owners have found that a better bet is to concentrate their efforts on contacting an independent car warranty company.
These specialists have been increasing their business and now sell direct to car owners online. By buying online, you can benefit from reduced costs.
Take time to find a policy that is at the right price and offers the right amount of cover for your second hand car.

Your experience with specific extended warranties on used cars? (Answers: 5) (Comments: 1)
We are shopping for a used car and have come across a number of third-party extended warranty options. We are inspecting the contracts pretty closely and some are clearly better than others. We've also called different mechanics and received various responses - some have had good experiences, some haven't.
Do you have any specific experience with one or another of these companies? Positive or negative? We are looking for specifics, here.
Also, in particular, does anyone have experience with the "Freedom Protection Plan" (the best one) offered through Eagle Warranty? Or with Eagle Warranty in general? Thanks.
I know these aren't popular but I am also suspect of blanket advice against any product. The specific contract terms for Eagle Warranty can be found at: www.eaglewarranty.com.
Yes. A new car would be great. Unfortunately that is not a possibility for us. (Neither do we consider it a wise investment). Unless you know of a new car with AWD and dual airbags that sells for 10K?

Please I need Help! Legal issue with used Car Warranty?? ? (Answers: 2) (Comments: 0)
I bought a used car on the 5 aug. I had it home 2 days when it broke down. I paid 750$ To get it towed and the starter motor fixed, Had it home I day and now it's blown up.
My Dad and Aunt have both bought vehicles from the same dealer and not had any problems with them, when I bought the car he gave me the receipt to sign and it had ticked at the bottom no warranty, he said all our cars are sold like this.
I have just searched consumer affairs website and it states is you buy a car from a licensed motor trader they have to give you a statutory 5000k or 3 month warranty on used cars less than 10yrs old and 160,000ks my car is a 2002 hyundai with 109,000ks on it.
Please help I am a single mum I can't afford to pay for a motor rebuild as it is I had to borrow the money for the towing and the starter.
Is the receipt I signed legal? If the warranty there meant to give is statutory?
I'm in Victoria, Australia
Any positive advise would be a god-send
I'm gutted and broke!
