Are you
buying from a dealer?
Although 'new', was it ever registered or does it come with a MSO (manufacturers statement of origin)?
Does this 'Elan' have
engine propulsion?
Have you spoken with the manufacturer, who ultimately picks up the tab for warranty
work provided?
I ran a vehicle dealership for eight years and know that a manufacturer is responsible for their product regardless of in what State it may be. Typically if a dealer resuses to provide warranty support the manufacturer will impose sanctions in retaliation.
Boats, cars, motorcycles, ATV's, pretty much all the same.
