Sorry if this has been covered previously But..
Is the warranty only transferable if the car is purchased from a private seller ???
Reason I ask is that a 720s which recently sold on CC has reappeared on here being sold by SF cars stating it has warranty till May 2023 as in the original CC ad, just looking at this as an example as have no interest in car..

Assuming that you are talking about the extended warranty rather than the factory warranty this is what my old policy said :-
Should you sell the Vehicle covered by this Warranty privately, the benefits of the unexpired portion of the Warranty may be transferred to the new owner. The transfer is subject to the approval of the Insurer and the following procedure and conditions being adhered to:
The transfer documentation is completed by the selling owner and the new purchaser.
The transfer is applied for within seven days of the date of sale and there is a minimum of three months-unexpired balance remaining on the Warranty.
The Vehicle has been serviced at the appropriate time/mileage intervals in accordance with the manufacturer recommendations.
The Warranty cannot be transferred if the title transfer of the Vehicle passes through a person or entity other than the subsequent buyer or if the Vehicle is sold or traded to an individual or entity in the business of buying and selling Vehicles.

My understanding on transferability:
- if it's a private sale, the seller can transfer the warranty to you (subject to conditions on remaining length of warranty valid)
- if it's sold by a dealer but Sale Or Return (on consignment), then I believe the previous owner can transfer the warranty to you as above (because the car passes directly from the previous owner to you, it is never 'in the trade').
- if it's sold by a dealer who owns the car, then the warranty is invalidated when the car passed into the dealers ownership. The dealer may arrange for the past owner to transfer the warranty to you, however if McLaren have seen the car advertised for sale they can invalidate the remaining cover.
And for completeness, when a car is sold by a franchised McLaren dealership they will include 12 months new Mcwarranty with the car, and the buyer can arrange to extend that to 24 months either for a price or as part of the negotiated deal.

Is there any reason why the last few posts got purged from the other Sports Series thread?

So the warranty on the car as used as an example is disqualified ?? Clearly sold to the trade via an online auction site ..??
That depends if the car is owned by SF cars, or if they are merely advertising it on consignment / sale or return for an owner.Could be the car was bought from CC by a private buyer who now wants to sell it again, could be the 'sale' on CC never went through and the original owner still has it and has put it up SOR.
If the car is owned by someone "in the business of buying and selling Vehicles" then it's invalidated, if ownership remains with a private individual then it may not be.
Alternatively they may be hoping that if the registration plate isn't in the ad that they can get away with it, assuming the previous owner is willing to co-operate.
So it may or may not be invalidated depending on specific circumstances, and if it is, McLaren may or may not find out and actually invalidate it.

I think it’s safe to say the example given is bought and owned by someone in the business of buying and selling vehicles,,, Could be the car was bought from CC by a private buyer who now wants to sell it again, could be the 'sale' on CC never went through and the original owner still has it and has put it up SOR.

Just something else to look out for I suppose when making that decision on which car to go for, yes by all means ask the seller but being armed with the correct information always helps,,

Another Warranty Question if anyone can help..
How long have you got to take out the extended warranty following a pre warranty inspection ? Or does it have to be taken out there and then ?
From memory immediately, you may find some dealers will give you a little grace, but it certainly wont extend to days!How long have you got to take out the extended warranty following a pre warranty inspection ? Or does it have to be taken out there and then ?
