dealership deductable issues?

Question

my dealership is trying to charge me for repairs on a part that's covered under both my thirty-day warranty and my extended warranty. the extended warranty has a $100 deductable, while the thirty day warranty has no deductable. they're saying that my extended warranty is in effect. but here's the thing, according to them, my thirty-day warranty wasn't cancelled, and is still in effect. what's up? do i have any legal recourse here? or am i stuck paying the $100? please supply sources and citations if you've got them. thanks in advance.

i was able to bully and threaten them into covering me with the thirty-day, which has no deductable. all i ended up having to pay for was half of the tow truck, which is fine. thankyou for your help.

Answer 1

normally the 30 day warranties on used cars are 50%/50% if this is the case, you are probabally getting off cheaper with the $100. Also is it a new problem or one that the car had when you bought it? If it was an existing problem, you should have notified them ASAP

Answer 2

First of all....is your 30 day warranty in writting???

If not you do not have a choice but to use the extended warranty. If it is in writting they have to honor it...At my dealership we give a 30 day warranty on ALL safety related items....if a client chooses to take an extended waranty than we still cover the first 30 days.

Answer 3

normally 30 day warranties are very limited and normally only on the power train(engine-tranny-and rear/front wheel drive)....just need to have more information to better answer your question...check out the limited warranty explanation and maybe you might just be on the better of paying the $100....work your salesman(hopefully a man) and with that nice looking face maybe he can get it waived or maybe split it with you....good luck!!
