Buying used: How to check for bumper to bumper warranty?

[Ornithology]

So I'm getting a used car soon. It comes with a bumper to bumper warranty and I'm wondering if there is a "best" way to check that it is existent with the vehicle? Also wondering how do I check what is not included in the warranty? The car has 126k and is a 2002. The dealership is with signature mazda.

Also wondering, if there is a warranty, would I need a "pre-purchase inspection" if I can check most things myself? If the vehicle has just been serviced at signature mazda, does that mean that everything is okay with the car?

Thanks in advance...

I'm not so sure because the fact that you ask the later statement makes me think that you don't really know how to check most things youself....

where i work. us technicians do a used vehicle inspection AND get BCAA as a 3rd party inspection so you know all our used vehicles are legit.
