He drove it off the lot, it lost 20% of the value. The factory warranty should transfer regardless of the owner

Most car warranties do not transfer.    It is a contract between the maker and original buyer.

The factory warranties ALWAYS transfer.  Some companies *cough* Hyundai *cough* have longer warranties than the norm with a number of exclusions, deductibles and limited transferability.

Even some of the extended warranties that are sold at the dealership are transferable.

I've never not had a factory warranty transfer. Does it vary state to state?

For 1k off you could find a new one for 21 k with incentives and negotiations I think..

Going back to the warranty transfer issue.  Here's a quick snippet from the Warranty Manual on a 2012 Avalon:

Who Is the Warrantor
The warrantor for these limited warranties is Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. (“Toyota”), 19001 South Western Avenue, Torrance, California 90509-2991, a California corporation.

Which Vehicles Are Covered
These warranties apply to all 2012 model year Avalon vehicles distributed by Toyota that are originally sold by an authorized dealer in the United States and normally operated or touring in the United States, U.S. territories or Canada. Warranty coverage is automatically transferred at no cost to subsequent vehicle owners.

YMMV

Still negotiating.  So far total saving from price of new car and destination charge and tax will be about $3500.

No, unless that state has additional requirements.

Warranty transferability varies with manufacturer.  My VW's warranty transferred, but the 10 year /100,000k mile engine warranty changes to 5 year /50k with the second owner.

You have to read the fine print.

I said previously most do not, I have been corrected by a few people, apparently nowadays it's standard for them to transfer, however many have limitations such as what I described above.
