Will I Lose Warranties if I Transfer My 2021 Kia Seltos to My Son?

Good morning…

I’ve got a 2021 Kia Seltos with 35,500 miles on it. When I bought it, I got a 10-year/100,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, plus Kia’s drivetrain warranty. The dealership also threw in a lifetime powertrain warranty that kicks in after the factory one ends.
I just bought a new Silverado, and my son’s taking over the payments on the Seltos. I still owe $10k on it, but the blue book value is $18k. I’m thinking of either selling it to him or just putting the car in his name. So, here’s what I’m wondering:

  • If I transfer ownership to him, will we lose the factory bumper-to-bumper warranty?
  • Will the factory powertrain warranty still be good?
  • Will the extended bumper-to-bumper warranty stay valid if the car’s in his name?
  • And finally, will the dealership’s lifetime powertrain warranty still apply after the title is transferred?

Your assistance will be appreciated :unamused:

Aint no worries :smile: no, if you give your 2021 Kia Seltos to your son, the warranty will still be in effect.

:wink:The majority of auto warranties are linked to the car, not the owner. This implies that the warranty usually moves with the vehicle when you sell it or transfer ownership.

Certain extended warranties could have certain costs or criteria for transfers. :star_struck:
It is imperative that you review the terms and conditions of the particular extended warranty you have.

There may be laws affecting warranty transfers in some states. For further information, it’s a good idea to speak with your local DMV or a legal expert :hushed:

To make sure, it’s important to find out whether the warranty on your particular car is transferable by getting in touch with Kia customer care or your neighborhood Kia shop :neutral_face:

there is nothing to worry about no subtractions or additions as long as the warranty is transferable just go to a kia outlet they will do the paperwork :thinking:
