Is there a law in the states (ct) about warranty for used cars (from a dealer)?

Answer 1

there are many laws regarding USED car warranties, that dealers must abide.

The often mentioned "lemon law" is not one of them , it only applies to NEW vehicles.

What, more specifically, kind of warranty law are you seeking info on ?

Answer 2

There is a Federal Law that requires all used car dealers to place a sticker, on each car the are selling, that states the warranty. The sticker must have the word Warranty and AS IS in 1" lettering. Either Warranty Or AS IS must be marked indicating the warranty.

Answer 3

yes there is,,now most states cars are sold a is unless otherwise stated,there is not an actual law that says they have to warranty any used car,,but some lots do warranty them,,and some lots offer a warranty for a small fraction of the selling price,,but the odds are still in the dealers favor,,they can sell any car,and not have to warranty it,,unless it is still covered by a factory warranty,,i hope this helps.

Answer 4

Most used cars do not come with a warranty - and usually come "As Is". If it did (say a car that is only one or two years old) the dealer would have provided you with. New cars often have a 5-year - 50,000 mile warranty. If you car has less than 50,000 miles, the warranty may be in effect. Good luck.

Answer 5

Sec. 42-221. Implied warranties. Express warranties. Exemptions. Waiver.

(b) Each contract entered into by a dealer for the sale to a consumer of a used motor vehicle which has a cash purchase price of three thousand dollars or more but less than five thousand dollars, shall include an express warranty, covering the full cost of both parts and labor, that the vehicle is mechanically operational and sound and will remain so for at least thirty days or one thousand five hundred miles of operation, whichever period ends first, in the absence of damage resulting from an automobile accident or from misuse of the vehicle by the consumer. Each contract entered into by a dealer for the sale of a used motor vehicle which has a cash purchase price of five thousand dollars or more shall include an express warranty, covering the full cost of both parts and labor, that the vehicle is mechanically operational and sound and will remain so for at least sixty days or three thousand miles of operation, whichever period ends first, in the absence of damage resulting from an automobile accident or from misuse of the vehicle by the consumer. A dealer may not limit a warranty covered by this section by the use of such phrases as "fifty-fifty", "labor only", "drive train only", or other words attempting to disclaim his responsibility.

Answer 6

Laws regarding the sale of used vehicles differ by state. Most do not require a warranty, but also don't allow dealers to pawn off "lemons" to their customers.
