When Does YOUR Warranty Begin ?

Hmmm... I guess that's one of the negatives of WA doing away with the registration sticker! Have you got the registration papers to say when it was registered? Can you log into the WA Department of Transport to determine when it was registered? That's what you need to find out. The day that was done, is when your warranty starts (unless there is something else in your contract).

Did you talk to your dealer about the first owner/registration date? Ask them, when was it first registered.

In my view, they should have informed you but probably they did not!

As "Corey" said, talk to the Dealer Principle and tell him what happened.

Cheers,

I did talk to the dealer and they told me that the car was a "demo", registered 31 of Jan, I got it cheaper than retail, be happy and piss off basically...

Well, the rego is paid until 2 December 2011, which is exactly 6 month since 3 June when I purchased the car.

Well, i guess in that case, your warranty does start on 31st Jan!
But they should have informed you about this.
You still can talk to dealer principle (DP) and see what he/she has to say!
Once you talk to the DP and not satisfied, no harm calling/consulting consumer affairs.

Even that seems strange. If the car had either 6 or 12 month registration, it should be till 31 Jan should it not?

What about the service sticker - when do they say it should be serviced next - it should be 31 Jan too?

You have bought a demo model, but it would seem as if no-one advised it was a demo model. Probably not much of a leg to stand on, but the DP needs to be informed and maybe you can get a free service or something...
