i'm gonna try and sell my car this weekend. i bought the car used, and when i bought it i got an extended warranty. is this transferrable to the new owner?

You should really give a call to the dealer where you bought the car (and the extended warranty), it varies from case to case.

Usually it is not. And if it is, there will be a significant fee to transfer it. There will be a "claims" phone number on the contract to call and find out.

Extended warranties, unless they are offered directly from the manufacturer, are usually a pretty bad deal. And don't assume that because the dealer sold it to you that it comes from the manufacturer.

This is true, most are a type of an insurance policy. Typically with a $100 deductable. I have had one and it was transferable but had about $100 fee to do so.

I have also heard of people being turned down for repairs due to not having service records, or "abusing" their car. I have made two claims, and on the second they did ask for service records, but fixed both issues.
