Hi all, we are looking to purchase a second hand caravan that still has a significant balance of the new warranty remaining.
I rang the manufacturer to confirm if the warranty would be transferable and they said they charge a fee of $1800 to transfer it into the new name! This includes a thorough check over though apparently.
Is this even legal? I'm guessing yes because the caravan industry seem to write their own rules but how can the warranty of a car transfer automatically and they think charging $1800 is appropriate? (Because they can is the obvious answer, I guess).
Cheers
Generally, if you sell your car while it is still under the manufacturer's warranty, the remaining warranty period automatically passes onto the new owner (unless the warranty states otherwise). Take a look at what the warranty states.
