Transferable Warranty Offered By DaimlerChrysler

DaimlerChrysler (DCX) is to offer a 7-year/70,000 mile powertrain warranty as standard for all models. This differs from similar, existing deals (mainly offered by Korean manufacturers) in that it is transferable to subsequent owners of the vehicle. Industry analysts feel that the other two ‘Big 3’ manufacturers may be forced to follow suit and they point out that such deals can prove expensive if quality is not up to scratch.
