Default Need Help Warranty Information

I've been back and forth on the forum but most folks help me if they can so here's my question. Does a used 2020 have a factory warranty? Isn't 3 years or 36,000 the basic warranty?
So even if the dealer is selling the car it's out of warranty. Is that correct and on top of all the other stuff taxes,doc fee etc they would try to sell a warranty which from what I've read here it's a necessity. Thanks

I received my 2020 in November of 2020. The three year 36 thousand bumper to bumper will expire in November this year. The five year 60 thousand power train warranty will remain in effect until the car reaches one or the other of these marks.

The bumper-to-bumper warranty runs for 3 years or 36,000 miles from the in-service date of the vehicle. It is possible that this warranty still applies, if the car was purchased after May 15, 2020 and has less than 36,000 miles.

The expiration of the warranty depends on when the car was first placed in service. When the first retail buyer buys the car, the warranty begins.

just bought a 2020 in March '23 with 1365 miles. Car was out of warranty. Because dealer could not move the car after 6 weeks they certified the car (CPO) for 12 months or 12,000 miles.

My C8 has 5 camers and 28 module, plus the DCT. Because of that I would not own a C8 without an extended warranty!

call Dennis and get a quote on a GM extended warranty. I and my friends have purchased warranties from Dennis before and he is a standup guy selling an excellent product cheaper then the dealers. (406) 698-6355
