I'm in California and thinking about buying a used Prius.
The comprehensive, powertrain and hybrid warranties are transferable to second and subsequent owners of a 2010 Toyota Prius.
Toyota’s comprehensive warranty for the Prius covers three years/36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Powertrain coverage is five years/60,000 miles, and in California the hybrid warranty is good for 10 years/150,000 miles.
The hybrid component warranty covers the hybrid battery, battery control module, hybrid control module and inverter with converter. In most states the hybrid warranty is eight years/100,000 miles, but states that have adopted California’s Emission Control Warranty have a longer warranty. These states include California, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Vermont, Connecticut, Maine, New Mexico and Rhode Island.
If you’re buying used, you can look into a certified pre-owned Prius, which will have additional warranty coverage beyond the factory warranties.
Is it just me, or did the answer completely skirt the original question of whether the warranty is transferrable?
I missed it also, the very first sentence says: The comprehensive, powertrain and hybrid warranties are transferable to second and subsequent owners of a 2010 Toyota Prius.
I have a 2010 Prius...I am not sure what is meant by the warranty.
