Understanding Car Warranties

Unlike other consumer items, cars aren't covered with a money back guarantee which is why you need a good warranty to give you the protection you need. With new cars, there are two types of warranties. These are the power-train and bumper to bumper or comprehensive warranty. How do the two differ?

A power-train warranty covers the engine, transmission, drive axles and drive shaft. Despite its name, a bumper to bumper warranty doesn't actually cover everything in between the bumpers so read the fine print to know what is specifically covered.

Understanding your car warranty can be a little tricky, especially since not all car warranties are the same. There are big differences between warranties offered by different manufacturers. A bumper to bumper warranty normally protects your car for at least 12 months or 12,000 miles but many manufactures provide a three-year, 36,000-mile warranty. Under federal law, the emissions systems should be covered for five years. Consult your warranty booklet so you know what to expect in case of a problem.

Part of the new car warranty law states that manufacturers should certify that the new vehicle is working and has been tested for quality control. But the law doesn't cover all parts in testing nor does it state the amount of testing that should be made before the certificate is issued.

Lastly, its commonly believed that if you take your car to an independent service station, your warranty will be voided. In reality, you can take your vehicle to any service station, even those outside of your car dealership. This wont affect your warranty as stated by the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act that gives consumers the freedom to select an alternative service station. You also have the right to pick the shop you desire for maintenance services provided it is licensed and certified.

should I trade in my 2006 325i bmw for a new car, different make?


Ok, here is the deal. My parents are currently paying for the 2006 bmw 325i, but soon i am going to have to start making some form of payments towards my car. There intentions are to trade in the bmw for a cheaper vehicle so when i do start paying for it it will be more affordable. Currently there is 2 years left to have the veh paid off. The thing is I LOVE THE CAR. An option i have is for my parents to pay off the veh, but that leaves me with the cost for maintenance since the warranty expired. Should i go for the new veh, with given maintenance for awhile and stuck with having to pay around 400 a month, Or keep the 500000 mileage bmw that i love and save for maintenance problems for the future? Which is more affordable?
At the moment i just started a job allowing me to save
200 a month, for the time being until i work full time hopefully in half a year. Just mentioning incase it should factor in.

It would not be possible for you to maintain your BMW for what you are earning.

At the car's age, major (expensive) parts will be coming to the end of their lives and will need to be replaced soon. Just go and ask your BMW dealer how much it will cost you to perform an "Inspection 2". You'll get the idea.

There'll be many other opportunities in your live for you to be able to properly afford your own BMW without your parents' help. So you should live within your means now and save for a much nicer BMW in the future.
