While it is not clear, certainly a dealership cannot bind another to fix a used car sold on its lot. It seems likely that unless the selling dealership is willing to reimburse another to make necessary repairs under the warranty, then you will have to return to the selling dealer for warranty work. This is one of the hazards in buying outside of your local area.

Re: Used car warranty

You need a copy of the warranty. If it is a warranty from the dealer, you probably need to take it to the dealer. If the warranty is from Acura, then you can probably take it to any Acura dealership.
