Warranty question

I am buying a 6 month old used amp unit from an authorized dealer. Warranty on a new product is usually two years. Normally, if buy used (from a consumer), with most companies the warranty becomes void. However, I am being told that since I am buying used directly from an authorized dealer and they are providing a sales slip, I will in fact have warranty on my product. How does this sound? Is it correct? Sound OK since I have sales slip? Just a local dealer work-around of big company rules? Thnx.

It depends on the manufacturer. Some manufacturers (Madrigal, and its subsidiaries, for example) extend the warranty regardless of who you acquired the equipment from.
Others (like Sonic Frontiers) require the purchase of used equipment to be from an authorized dealer to extend the warranty.
Others extend the warranty ONLY to the first purchaser of the equipment when it is purchased new and from an authorized dealer.
The ONLY way to know is to contact the manufacturer and ask.
