As when purchasing any used car, please have your own personal mechanic inspect a Carpath vehicle before buying. Our starter motor died within the first week after purchase. We had learned about the starter issue on the day I picked up the car to drive it home. The salesman reassured us that their mechanic had said it wasn't an immediate problem; that we could possibly "get another 10,000 kms out of it" before the starter would need to be replaced; and that when it did eventually need replacing, the cost of doing so would probably be covered by the National warranty we had purchased with the car. Less than 100 kms later, the car wouldn't start. Thankfully, the starter was indeed covered by the National warranty. However, we had to pay out-of-pocket for both a new battery (which needed to be replaced because of the faulty starter) and the associated labour costs, because these services weren't covered. Upon learning the car had been towed for repairs only a few days after being sold, the Carpath salesman had offered to help with costs if not covered by warranty. When told the warranty covered the starter but not the battery, Carpath did not offer to reimburse us. read more
