    you have to tell the new owner, it's not your fault that the part/s are faulty in fact the car dealers admitted this thru the letter

    If i personally know the buyer, i will tell. If not....i don't know.

    He might think that I sold my car because of the "lemoness" and might opt for a return policy thing....

    Chances are the casa will replace the parts because of the belief that it is under your name still. But might refuse it pagnalaman na it no longer belongs to you. The casa alwyas love alibi o anything to get away from it.

    If kaya naman ng budget mo at hindi kaya ng conscience mo, tell the buyer about and you just pay for the labor.

    actually..i requested the plant to warranty the parts...and luckily it was granted although the car has no warranty for more than 2 years.

    Malupit naman masyado yang car manufacturer na yan. Alam nilang defective yung parts, tapos nag-offer nga na papalitan pero may labor charge?! WTF?!

    Kung sa Amerika nangyari yan, that carmaker is in for a class suit.

    BTT: I'd tell the new owner, enclose the letter and leave it up to him as to what needs to be done.

    again, thanks to those who gave their opinions.

    I have talked to the new owner, told him about it and there is no problem.

    We will coordinate with each other for scheduling the repair.

    My conscience is clear because the car I sold him is in good running condition, the parts replacement is more on preventive maintenance and when the repairs are done, it will run like new again.

    nice decision. you did the right thing.

    OT: badtrip yang casa na yan. may issue pala about sa parts ng ex-car mo tapos late na nila sinabi sayo then labor would be shouldered by the owner pa. hindi kaya pinatagal muna bago inamin ng casa sayo through the letter?

    (o mali lang ang pagkakaintindi ko sa verbatim mo ng story)

    labo ba story..its more like..i had my PMS and after PMS you get their recommendation on what parts to replace and stuff. (its like a mechanic saying....i suggest you replace this, that, that, but not actually broken yet..but soon to be broken or wear out)....so when i saw this, i was suprise because i take care of the car well and pms as scheduled..i talked to their customer service and asked how i can have to under warranty. they advised me on what to do and wait for feedback. unfortunately, the feedback took weeks to get, but during the time i was waiting..i decided to sell the car. sold the car in a few days. after getting the documents and payment was made..days after..i received an email granting the request of parts to be covered for free.

    if the car wasn't sold that quickly..and i received the letter, i would have it all fixed (labor paid) and still sell the car. its not that i dont like the car, but its time for its replacement.

opinions pls: help needed
