The duration of the guarantee is at least 1 year and is divided into 2 periods.

During the first 6 months of the total guarantee period:
Any defect, which has not been brought to the attention of the buyer being revealed during this period, is supposed to have already existed at the time of delivery (unless the seller provides proof to the seller) and will have to be supported by this one. In practice, any defect, other than those attribuable to wear and tear or osbolescence, will have to be taken over by the seller if he does not prove that they are due to a cause other than the condition of the vehicule (accident, external cause, misuse,etc.)

After the first 6 months:
The seller has no obligation to repair defective parts on the vehicle he has sold, he only has if the buyer provides evidence that the defects that occurred during this period already existed at the time of the delivery or are the consequance of the condition of the vehicle at this time.

During the total warranty period:
Warranty interventions must be performed in the vendor’s shop or an autorized workshop. With the prior consent of the seller, the buyer can perform the repair in another mechanical workshop. Repairs can be made using used parts. However, if used parts were not avaible and it was necessary to use new parts, the buyer would theoretically have to intervene in the repair costs given the added value of the vehicle. In case of immobilization or non-enjoyment of his vehicle, the loan of a replacement vehicle or other form of compensation for the customer is not provided for by the conventional guarantee of FEDERAUTO.

Important: the guarantee is linked to the sales contract and exists only between the seller and the buyer. It’s not transferable in the case of resale to a new buyer.
