We have a Powrtouch mover.  I believe the warranty is transferable when it is moved from your outgoing van to your new one.  I doubt that Powrtouch would transfer a warranty for a unit that has been sold on by a dealer, and any such warranty/part warranty would probably be up to the dealer to honour.  The dealer should be able to advise you of the situation, and should have some knowledge of Powrtouch's policy in this respect.

Failing a satisfactory reply from the dealer, your best option is to contact Powrtouch themselves for a definitive answer.  We have found the unit to be reliable, but there is always the off-chance of a problem in even the highest quality products, and replacement items are not always cheap.

what it really comes down to is a direct comparison of cost:

Van price + used mover price + (fitting?) + warranty left on mover  as opposed to, Van price + supply and fit price of new mover + 5-yr. warranty.

You may find the second option to be better,  particularly if the overall cost of having the used mover is only marginally less, and the warranty position is tenuous.

It is always wise to consider that aftersales customer service is more likely to be better for a new unit from Powrtouch, than a secondhand one that has been sold on through the trade.
