Be extra careful of warranties bought over the net. Over the years they have proven (in general) to not be reliable in paying and they come and go.

This place is selling manufacturer's HondaCare warranty. It is not a third party warranty.

At $1900 for 2 years of extra coverage it isn't a "good thing" (except for the salesman).
 
It woud be a rare car that would have $1900 in repairs in years 4 and 5, with less than 50K miles...whether it is a Ford or a Honda.

Ah, sorry...I misunderstood and did not catch the lower cost figure that was given. $1200 is certainly less bad than $1900, but I sure would not pay that much for 2 years of coverage on a car with less than 50K mi.

But maybe to the OP it was. Like somebody above said, only the OP can say whether it was worth it or not. He was worried about NAV and electronics.
 
My case is similar. I bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee with the lifetime powertrain warranty and 36k/3years for everything else. Before the warranty is up, I plan to buy a Jeep (no 3rd party) warranty to cover repairs for NAV, etc. Because it won't have to cover powertrain, it's pretty cheap -- about $800 for an extra 3 years/40k miles.

All it takes is the nav screen to short out one time to pay for that 800 bucks too.

Exactly. Oh, and if I don't end up using the warranty, it's refundable. It's also transferable. And now it's back by the US Government and FIAT

The quote I posted was for 8 years 120K miles. That is additional 5 years 84K miles.
