Invoice prices have changed about a month ago, but the differences are trivial: about $200.

Extended Warranty by fishrules1000

Thanks to everyone for your replies to my first message.
 
I have a question about the Odyssey Extended Warranty. I've read a little about the Honda Care, and what it offers. For a big investment like this car, it is something that my wife and I want to consider.
 
I wanted to know about your experiences with purchasing an extended warranty contract, whether these prices they offer are negotiable (and how much!), whether it is better to purchase one indepedent of Honda, etc....anything on the issue that you think may help. Thanks again.

None of these is necessary. Theses options should cost less than $50.

I completely agree on the warranty, especially since the Displacement on Demand feature is new. A local dealer gave me a sheet quoting the 7yr/100k mile 0 deduct at $2050, I've read their cost on this is about $1050. I paid $1250 for it and probably could of beat on them more but the overall deal was so good I didn't have the heart to.

DO NOT buy extended warranty from your dealer unless he can offer it to you near cost. There are several Internet dealers that will sell you the same Honda Care policy for $20-25 over its cost. I paid $1,070 for 7 yr/100K miles zero deductible policy from Pohanka Honda of Salisbury Maryland.
 
It is important for buyers to know that they don't have to buy the warranty from the same dealer where they get the car or soon after the purchase. Of course, if your dealer offer it to you for $1,100 and you'd rather roll it into your car loan, it makes perfect sense to do so.

The mudguards you can buy from H&A and install yourself for far less than $148.
Only you can decide what a pinstripe that will come off in the car wash in three years is worth but the dealer only paid about $5 max for the pinstripes.
The Environmental Pkg usually has so many loopholes and requirements that in 6.5 years, you will be lucky to get any "damages" handled to your satisfaction. This is a very high profit item. Regular washing, waxing, and cleaning will do just as well. If you really want it, have a lawyer look at it and have him give you an opinion on the fine print.
 
$700 will buy a lot of car waxes and cleaning.

fishrules1000,
Dicker back and forth on the price, they will come down. Use the "entire warranty" as your ammunitation.
Does you new van have NAV system? If not, tell them you should not have to pay for it. Does your new van have the power lift gate? 4x4? Etc...Etc...
We bought the warranty on our 01 odyessey, it paid for itself when the air compressor needed replaced twice and the alternator went once.
We just bought an 05 odyessey, 2 weeks ago. needless to say i bought another warranty.
good luck.

Couldn't have said it better myself. In the future a really good detailing shop can make it all (inside/out) look and smell like new for a lot less money.
