SB 119 Connecticut Senate · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING USED MOTOR VEHICLE WARRANTIES.

SB 119 requires dealers selling used motor vehicles under ten years old (with a purchase price of $3,000 or more) to provide an express warranty covering full parts and labor costs for 60 days or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first, ensuring the vehicle remains mechanically sound. It prohibits dealers from disclaiming warranty responsibility using phrases like "fifty-fifty" or "as-is" for these vehicles, except when selling vehicles ten years or older. The bill directly affects dealers selling used cars in this price and age range, and consumers purchasing them. It takes effect October 1, 2026, replacing current warranty rules.
