An Act relative to vehicle warranty fulfillment
This bill requires automobile dealers and private sellers in Massachusetts to honor pre-paid vehicle warranties when reselling a car. The law mandates that the warranty remains valid based on the original timing and mileage limits until those conditions are met. It specifically applies to vehicles sold by individuals or businesses that purchase cars for the purpose of resale. This change ensures that buyers receive the same warranty coverage regardless of whether the seller is a licensed dealer or a private party.
