Should 2nd. Buyer Receive Guarantee ?


Some manufacturers like Cary an CJ to name two make great stuff but they refuse to honor any remaining warrantee to 2ed. buyer. I think that sucks ! It certainly reduces the potential selling price for anyone wishing to sell relatively new stuff. Does this upset anyone else or do you think it is justified ?

I respectfully disagree with Slingshot. The warranty period represents that period where, in the opinion of the manufacturer, nothing should go wrong due to manufacturing defects or part failure. That is a term of the purchase. When that failure occurs during the warranty period, the manufacturer should fix it, whether there has been one owner, two owners or more. The warranty does not cover abuse, or "normal" wear and tear. It covers defects, which, unless a manufacturer has a zero error rate during manufacture, sometimes happens. I understand that having a transferable warranty may make it more likely that there will be a warranty repair, but if the manufacturer stands behind its product for a year or two or whatever, that should be independent of the identity of the owner.
