    When you purchase a vehicle from a dealer, ensure you obtain the original or a copy of the final buyers guide posted in that vehicle. This guide should detail any negotiated changes in the warranty cover. Keep in mind that this warranty becomes part of your sales agreement. If you are purchasing the vehicle as-is, ensure the as-is box in the document is ticked.
