Warranties
The reliability and performance of new cars has increased appreciably in recent years and new car warranties are more extensive and comprehensive than ever before.
Most automakers give three- to five-year "bumper-to-bumper" warranties on every new vehicle they make, virtually eliminating the need to buy extended warranties on a supplementary basis.
Extended warranties usually cover manufacturing flaws or defective parts after the basic warranty has expired. As a rule, they do not cover wear and tear due to age or use, and may offer coverage that already exists under the manufacturer's original warranty.
