GM's 100,000 Mile Warranty

comiskeybum · 09-18-2009, 11:28 AM

Can anyone tell me if GM'S 100k warranty transfers to the 2nd owner?

Or does it downgrade to a 60,000 when a 2nd owner buys it?

I ask this because my wife's stupid Kia only has a 60,000 mile warranty on it because she got it used. Kia has the 100,000 mile warranty for their new cars since 2004 i believe.

I just wondered because if the new Equinox holds up reliability wise my wife and I may consider one in a few years as a used purchase.

The warranty goes with the car , not the owner.

From the FAQ it looks like yes, it is fully transferrable.

There are no forms to fill out.......... it is with the VIN.

Keep in mind you might need service records from the previous owner for warranty work. I am not sure, but I believe GM certified used cars carry a 'refreshed' warranty and you wouldnt have to worry about that.
