I want to sell my Honda Civic, but I’m not sure how to advertise the warranty. I bought the car new a couple of years ago. Are Honda warranties transferable to the new buyer?

Honda warranties are transferable! Since your Honda’s warranty is tied to its vehicle identification number (VIN), the warranty will remain active on the vehicle, no matter who owns it. Selling a car can be a challenge, but I’m sure you’ll find a buyer for your Honda Civic in no time!
It’s important to note that the warranty starts counting down from the day you, the original owner, bought the car. Honda’s warranty coverage includes the following:
Limited warranty: 3 years/36,000 miles
Powertrain warranty: 5 years/60,000 miles
Rust perforation warranty: 5 years/unlimited miles
Accessory warranty: 3 years/36,000 miles
Depending on which state you’re in, the new owner may have to call Honda to make the warranty transfer official.
