Can I purchase warranty, or extended warranty for the used iPad I purchased?

Question

I've just purchased an iPad 3g that is in pristine - like new condition, works beautifully and has no flaws of ANY kind.
Do I have the option to purchase the warranty? or extended warranty?
Or does any of the original warranty transfer to me?
(I did already go to the Apple website and register the product via serial number under my name.)
Thanks!
-Love it by the way!

Answer 1

If you live in the U.S.... the device is covered under the warranty for one year from the date of purchase - no matter who owns it. I would make sure that I had the original receipt for the purchase of the iPad just so that you can document the original purchase. You cannot buy an AppleCare+ extended warranty now - if you live in the U.S.
However, there seems to be some confusion as to whether you can still purchase the old Apple Care warranty in the U.S. it is no longer listed in the Apple Online Store. You would have to call Apple to find out for sure.
If the owner has the AppleCare+ extended warranty, it can be transferred to you according to these terms.
10. Transfer of Plan
Subject to the restrictions set forth below, you may make a one-time permanent transfer of all of your rights under the Plan to another party, provided that: (a) the transfer includes the original proof of purchase, the Plan's Confirmation and all of the Plan's printed materials and these Terms and Conditions; (b) you notify Apple of the transfer by sending, faxing or e-mailing notice of transfer to Apple Inc., ATTN: Agreement Administration, MS: 217-AC, 2511 Laguna Blvd, Elk Grove, CA 95758, U.S., fax number 916- 405-3655 or [email protected], respectively, and (c) the party receiving the Plan accepts the terms and conditions of the Plan. When notifying Apple of the transfer of the Plan, you must provide the Plan Agreement Number, the serial number of the Covered iPad being transferred, and the name, address, telephone number and email address of the new owner.
