If you decide to buy a used Subaru car, do you get a warranty? The answer can vary based on the age of the car and the warranty that came with it when it was new. Certain used cars may also qualify for the certified pre-owned Subaru program, which offers its own warranty.
It may seem confusing, but the expert dealers here at Heritage Subaru Catonsville can help you sort it all out and learn how your car is covered!
Does Your Used Car Come with a Warranty?
In most cases, a used vehicle does come with a warranty. Maryland state law does not allow a vehicle to be sold “as is” and without a warranty, unless it is over six years old. In most cases, the used Subaru car you buy will come with a warranty. The original manufacturer warranty might still apply and could be transferred over, depending on the age of the car, or the used car could come with a warranty of its own.
These warranties often cover specific components in the car that should last a long time. If these components end up failing earlier than expected, the warranty often helps cover the cost of the needed repairs. While you're still responsible for paying for routine maintenance, a sudden and unexpected part failure is usually covered.
Certified Pre-Owned Subaru Cars
You will definitely end up with a comprehensive warranty when you buy a certified pre-owned Subaru model. These vehicles come with a seven-year/100,000-mile warranty that covers nearly 1,000 parts, including components in the engine, transmission, drivetrain, and even HVAC system. Some warranties even cover the costs of towing, rental cars, or lodging when a breakdown occurs when traveling.
