Yes. Used vehicles that are purchased in the Commonwealth come with express warranties. If the vehicle has has less than 40,000 miles, the express warranty is 90 days or 3,750 miles from date of purchase. If mileage is between 40,000-80,000, the warranty period is 60 days or 2,500 miles. If the mileage is between 80,000 miles and 125,000 miles, the express warranty is 30 days or 1,250 miles. If the consumer has the same defect three times during the express warranty or if the car is in the shop 10 cumulative business days (Monday-Friday) during this period, the consumer is entitled to a full repurchase, minus a mileage offset of $0.15 a mile.
