Looks to me that the car was sold on 11-16- 2013. That would be the start of the 4 year warranty. Not when it was first registered with the DMV. So the factory warranty expired on
November 16th. 2017. Just about one month ago...

No way it is still active. Have them put something in writing.

The date that the vehicle is sold or lease papers signed is the first day the 4 year warranty starts. According to your vehicle history that was 11-16-2013...
Unless some sort of extended warranty is in effect, the factory warranty is over. You should clarify this with whoever you're dealing with.

BTW, you can tell if a salesman is blowing smoke at you. See if his lips are moving...
