First Ever 90-Day Factory-Style Powertrain Warranty for Private Sellers of Used Vehicles

NAPA, Calif. - Feb. 12, 2015 - PRLog -- There’s exciting news today for private sellers of used vehicles, which have grown to encompass approximately 11 million transactions each year. For the very first time, private sellers can now purchase a Seller’s Edge Warranty for their car, providing the buyer of their vehicle with a 90-day, factory-style powertrain warranty through SellersEdge.com. There is no competitive product to Seller’s Edge available in the U.S. market today; it is an entirely new concept. The Seller’s Edge warranty offers security for the buyer and a distinct sales advantage for the seller, putting what used to be a somewhat uncertain transaction on par with what was formerly only available when purchasing a used vehicle from a dealer.  Starting today, if a used vehicle passes a 40 point inspection made by Seller’s Edge, the seller is now able to provide that inspection summary and a 3 month, 3,000 mile warranty to the buyer of their car for an approachable price of $295, announced Luis Nieves, Chairman and CEO of Trustmark Auto Warranty.

Obtaining a Seller’s Edge warranty is simple and all online.  Once at the website, the seller enters the make, model and mileage of the vehicle he/she is looking to sell.  If it is less than 15 years old, has less than 150,000 miles, and is not an exotic or high-end automobile, it will most likely qualify for an inspection.  Once the seller pays the $295 warranty fee online, Seller’s Edge will arrange for an inspection at the seller’s home or place of business, whichever is most convenient.  If the vehicle passes the inspection, the seller is issued the written warranty with the activation code for the buyer.  Once the vehicle is purchased, the buyer simply enters the activation code online at SellersEdge.com and the warranty is activated with no waiting period.  If the seller’s vehicle does not pass the inspection, the seller is rebated $215, less $80 for the cost of the inspection.

“We have been on the wholesale side of the auto warranty business for over two decades, and found there was a huge gap in the sales advantage and security in transactions of private used vehicles, which is why we’re launching this exciting new consumer warranty product, Seller’s Edge,” explained Nieves.  “We envision it becoming such a needed and well-received warranty product that pretty soon buyers of used vehicles from private parties will begin to inquire, ‘Why doesn’t your car have a Seller’s Edge Warranty?’  It truly levels the playing field in the private marketplace, offering a level of security on both sides of the transaction for a price that is easily recouped in a quicker sale.”

A division of Trustmark Warranty, Seller’s Edge vehicle service warranties are backed by an A rated insurance company maintaining $26 billion in assets, and the administrator for Seller’s Edge possesses an A+ rating by the Better Business Bureau.  Seller’s Edge is licensed to do business in all 50 states.  Visit www.SellersEdge.com.
