#1 of 5 Warrenty Transfer by ksdriver1 Mar 27, 2008 (7:57 pm)
I just purchased a used Sedona with 18K. The dealer told me that Kia does not transfer its warrenty past the original owner. Is this true? If Kia does transfer warrenties, how can I get a copy of it?

Replying to: ksdriver1 (Mar 27, 2008 7:57 pm) This is from the Kia Motors 2007 Warranty Manual on their website; the 2008 book reads the same. We own a 2002 and I do not believe the basic terms of the warranty have changed significantly. In short, the dealer appears wrong, except that as the subsequent owner you only get 5/60 on the power train, not 10/100.   http://www.kia.com/07warranty.pdf   1. The Warranty Period The New Vehicle Limited Warranty is divided into various warranty periods. For the purpose of all warranties contained in this Manual(other than warranties on replacement parts or accessories installed after the Kia Vehicle was placed into use), the warranty period begins on the Date of First Service. “Date of First Service” means the first date the Kia Vehicle is delivered to the first retail purchaser, is leased or is placed into service as a company vehicle use (e.g., as a demonstrator, rental or fleet vehicle), whichever is earliest. Moreover, whenever this manual refers to a warranty period of months/miles, it means whichever comes first. Any remaining portion of any warranty, except the 120 month/100,000 mile Power Train (Original Owner) warranty, is fully transferable to subsequent owners.

Replying to: alfiedw (Mar 28, 2008 9:37 am) as the subsequent owner you only get 5/60 on the power train, not 10/100.   The 5/60 is bumper to bumper. Replies to this message: redsnare (Apr 29, 2008 11:35 am)

Replying to: jipster (Apr 04, 2008 9:51 am) The 5/60 is bumper to bumper.   alfiedw is correct. The original basic warranty is 5 years/60K miles and the power-train is 10 years/100K miles for the original owner only. The power-train warranty reverts to 5 years/60K miles from the original purchase date for any subsequent owner. It's still a great warranty; some manufacturer's don't allow the transfer of the original warranty at all.

I just bought a 2007 Buick LaCross CX with 15800 miles, is the balance of the factory warranty automatically transfer. Is there any documentation to provide the dealer, to make it so.
