This is normally called an FTC sticker. This will either list the warranty, or say that the Truck is sold AS-IS. The warranty will list the items covered, and the length of time or miles that they are covered. If you buy a vehicle as is, you have to pay for any and all needed repairs. The dealer will pay for nothing. If it breaks in half when you drive it off the lot, you own both pieces In either case, it is a good idea to have any vehicle that you are considering purchasing checked by your own qualified mechanic prior to purchase.

Seriously, if could be just a minor thing. It needs more auto transmission fluid. It takes to long to shift because it doesn't have enough fluid to make it work right. Only if you bought warrentee.

Also, don't worry about the transmission, that's how it's supposed to work. Being a truck, and designed for towing, the ratio of first gear on the Tahoe is pretty low. It's meant to take more strain than the average car, so shifts will be a little jerkier. I have a '99 GMC Sierra 2500 and it does the same thing. What he said.

All used cars have a buyers guide on the window saying if it has a 90 drive off warranty or not. if the car has 90,000 miles on it and it is being retailed at a dealership something is defiantly wrong with it. trust me on this DO NOT BUY IT!!! it is out of manufactures warranty so you can not get extended warranty.

Usually there is a sticker that says either Warranty, or As Is. If its not covered you can see if they offer warranty for a price or buy one yourself from a 3rd party.

For example, Oregon is a non-disclosure state - meaning as soon as you sign the contract you are responsible for any and all problems on the car unless the dealer provides a warranty or you purchase one. In Washington they are a full-disclosure state, so unless specifically stated "as-is, no Warranty express or implied" by the dealer, they are obligated to help you repair the vehicle within a certain time period (in washington it is 30 days). BTW, Chris G. is wrong, you can buy a extended warranty on a 90k miles vehicle. Depends on the state.
