Replying to: jet10000 (Apr 21, 2008 11:01 pm) I haven't seen anyone post that out of all the thousands of people who have purchased HondaCare, not one person ever gets their money's worth out of it. Your odds are probably better on a blackjack table in Las Vegas.   Obviously, if his experience happened with any significant regularity, HondaCare would have been bankrupted long ago.   Replies to this message: jb_turner (Apr 22, 2008 4:34 am) packer3 (Apr 22, 2008 8:18 am) willis3 (Apr 24, 2008 6:52 am) and 3 more...

Replying to: jaxs1 (Apr 21, 2008 11:12 pm) HondaCare is not an investment it is a peace of mind.... sort of like full coverage insurance on a new car versus liability.. People will always have different views on things and each person can make a good argument for their point.   HondaCare or not? Full coverage or just liability? OTD price or no OTD price?   I personaly would go HondaCare, full coverage and OTD price.

#2301 of 2306 Re: Extended Warranty for 2008 Civic [csbierer] by aspesisteve Apr 23, 2008 (8:23 am)
Replying to: csbierer (Mar 24, 2008 12:05 am) "But the salesperson hooked me when he said that the way Honda's are built now (being so computerized), they're much costlier to fix."   these are fear based sales tactics designed to separate you from your hard earned cash! Try reading consumer reports including the reliability data on the Civic, which is excellent, and you will realize that you are making a ill advised bet.   It is such a paradox to go from the car salesman selling you on reliability and then after closing the deal you get mr. doom and gloom warning you about expensive repair bills. Give me a break! I tell them if they want their customer report card to read 'A' then spare me the after market sales shenanigans. I'm out the door faster and have more money left in my account.   At the very least, you should walk away and say you will think about it and get a competitive bid.

Replying to: packer3 (Apr 22, 2008 8:18 am) Roadside assistance is not included. However, if you purchase the Hondacare warranty, you will get the roadside assistance for the duration of your warranty period.

#2303 of 2306 road side assistance by aspesisteve Apr 24, 2008 (10:01 am)
Replying to: willis3 (Apr 24, 2008 6:52 am) buying a membership with AAA will give you the most comprehensive roadside assistance program in the US. $50 per year - and you get access to all their maps too!   many car manufacturers include roadside assistance along with the factory warranty - I'm surprised Honda doesn't.

Replying to: aspesisteve (Apr 24, 2008 10:01 am) Thanks, I have never droped AAA I have had for a long time, I guess I won't need the Honda Care
#2306 of 2306 Great info on HC Warranties by firemanandy May 12, 2008 (4:59 am)
Thanks to all of the postings on the extended warranty. We bought the CVR yesterday and after the sale we got hit with the "what ifs" doom sales job. Sounds like we should save our money.
