The Guide must reflect any negotiated changes in warranty coverage. It also becomes part of your sales contract and must override any contrary provisions. If the box is checked but the dealer promises to repair the vehicle or cancel the sale if you re not satisfied, make sure the promise is written on the Buyers Guide . Otherwise, you may have a hard time getting the dealer to make good on his word. Three states Louisiana, New Hampshire, and Washington require different disclosures than those on the Buyers Guide.
State laws hold dealers responsible if cars they sell don t meet reasonable quality standards.
These obligations are called implied warranties unspoken, unwritten promises from the seller to the buyer. There is no specified time period for implied warranties. The dealer must check the appropriate box on the Buyers Guide if a service contract is offered, except in states where service contracts are regulated by insurance laws. If the Guide doesn t include a service contract reference and you re interested in buying one, ask the salesperson for more information. The Buyers Guide cautions you not to rely on spoken promises.
