used car warranty

I haven't bought a used car from a dealer for some years so I am somewhat inexperienced in what I should expect. Having now just bought a 2002 model at 6K (UK pounds) and been given a verbal promise of 12 months warranty, parts and labour, I am a little surprised and put out to find that there is absolutely no mention of the warranty terms at all in any of the documentation that I have recieved. This is from a large Peugeot dealership .

Even if I buy a £6 watch I would expect to find the warranty terms spelt out, so am I being unreasonable to expect it with a £6,000 car, or am I being fussy?

Can anyone please tell me what is normal practice assuming that they have recently done a similar transaction.

Last year when I bought my car I got my warranty documents through the post about 2 weeks after I took delivery ofthe car. If you are worried about the warranty then why not just ring the stealership and ask the sales person who sold you the car whichcompany the warranty is though and when you will receive the documents??

This might be as good a place to ask as any. I've been looking thought the s/h ads for a car and I notice a lot of dealers flogging px vehicles "to clear" with no warranty. Now I understood that a dealer had to warranty a car for at least a couple of months on things apart from normal wear and tear. I can understand not getting much of a warranty but none at all?

I got my warranty at the same time I bought the car. Assuming it's the standard peugeot warranty it's actually a mechanical breakdown parts and labour insurance type of thing and has some fairly important limitations - in my case the head gasket started to go at 11 months but the dealer wouldn't do the work unless I authorised that at risk, i.e. if it turned out to be something else I'd have had to pay for the head gasket work. However, compared to the bad old days when any problems were the customers as soon as you drove it away, it's better than a kick in the pants.
