GVJeeper Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 I'm a fulltimer and have a friend who wants to buy a used Class A or C but doesn't have a ton to spend thus will be getting a bit older rig. Can she get a warranty if she buys from a private party? If so, please let me know where.Thanks Full-timer with my 2 cats FlipperDoodle & Buster Originally from Northern Calif. (native) 2013 - 35 ft.

jblscooper Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 I would think highly unlikely. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXiceman Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 You can go after market on ab extended warranty plan. They usually have an age limit and/or a mileage limit. Google RV warranty and see what all pops iup.

sandsys Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 If the previous owner bought an extended plan that is still in force it might transfer.

Kirk W Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 The main issue is the age of the RV. It is pretty easy to find them for RVs of 5 years or less age but from that point the cost per year rises with each year of age and many companies will not write coverage for RVs of more than 10 years of age. You do need to shop carefully and I suggest that it might be helpful to read this article about such warranty contracts which was printed in Escapees magazine.

oldjohnt Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 While obtaining a warranty from a company that insures used RV's is possible (but if its too old OUCH), and/or the prior owner may have ones that's transferrable, to get a warranty direct from the prior owner that packs a punch, is meaningful, and most important enforceable as a matter of law, as an Attorney, I can tell YOU GOOD LUCK WITH THAT. Best to take that money and buy it SUBJECT TO AND DEPENDANT UPON a professional inspection by an inspector chosen and paid for by the Buyer. That way the Buyer can back out of the deal if it fails miserably, but the language in such a contingent contract is critical and important especially concerning the Buyer getting a deposit back???????? I would hire a qualified RV technician to inspect it before purchase if the Buyer is not well qualified. If the Seller balks at that, walk away, there are a gazillion good used RV's out there.

Mariner Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 I believe 15yrs. is the cut off for an extended warranty. Fulltiming since 2010 2000 Dutch Star 2009 Saturn Vue Myrtle Beach, SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
