With ICE cars, typically manufacturer warranties only are valid for the original purchaser.

That's never been my experience...

I just got a repair on my 2023 Camry that I bought used. It was covered under the 36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty.

I have had previous cars repaired under manufacturer warranty and I always buy used.

I just take it to the nearest certified dealer for that brand of car and they take care of it.

That must be a US specific thing, because that sounds demented.

It is untrue in the US. Manufacturer warranty follows the car. And it does so automatically, it is tied to the VIN and not whoever has the title.

Eh, its kind of mixed. Some manufacturers like Hyundai have essentially a baked in extended warranty (10y 100,000mi) that is non-transferrable, only the base warranty (5y 60,000mi) gets transferred.
