#1288 of 3113 Extended Warranty for Honda with 45k miles? by chrispina Nov 10, 2006 (8:18 am)
I have a 2005 Odyssey with 45k miles. I bought it new in May of last year. My plan was to wait until near the end of the factory warranty and then buy a Honda Care warranty online. It occurred to me last week that I completely forgot about it and now it appears to be too late.   I know that there is a lot of debate about whether a warranty is a good buy, particularly on a higher-mileage vehicle, but I'm superstitious and I know that the surest way to make sure my van never breaks down is to get an extended warranty now.   I've seen mention of CNA as being one of the more reputable 3rd party products, but their website doesn't have a price quote or any information for consumers, really. I called the dealership where I normally have it serviced and the service manager said that they commonly work with Service Guard and Western National. The finance guys are taking forever to return my call, so I wanted to see if you guys had any advice for me.   Thanks!

Replying to: babbittd (Nov 08, 2006 9:03 pm) Hi, what I know is: 1)With GEICO you not only have to pay $250 for each repair but also for each system. Let's say you have a problem with your brake and your transmission at the same time, in this case you should pay $ 2X250= 500 deductible. This is correct if two unrelated parts of even one system ( eg; in engine) have broken down.(Please call them and ask for more info) 2)Now you can calculate, let's say you will use it just once; $7x70=490+250=740 , you can check the price of Honda extended Warranty in different web sites such as Bernardi and compare. 3)Most dealers are more happy to work with companies which they know better, and the best for Honda is Honda backed warranty, so you get better service 4) Geico do not write insurance in some states(such as MA), if you moved you can not buy Geico any more and you probably would lose what you have paid till then 5)if by any chance you decided to sell your car sooner you can get a part of your money back from Honda EW (Per millage and time) or transfer it to the buyer, this adds a value to your car . With Geico you do not have this privelage. That's all I know , may be incorrect or incomplete, please search more, good luck

Replying to: steelblu (Nov 10, 2006 6:05 am) I just bought the Accord LX '07 and the dealer offered the 7yr/80K warranty for 1368! Thanks to a referral from Edmund, I got a quote for $625 for the same HondaCare warranty.   I did notice that the quote is the same whether it was for a new car or for one with 6000 miles. Is it better to wait and buy the extended warranty later rather than now?

Replying to: pgrunner (Nov 12, 2006 11:44 am) The price goes up and the coverage options go down once your car has 6k miles on it. So be sure to purchase before that time. Check this thread for links to various online discount HC dealers.   Dennis

Replying to: pgrunner (Nov 12, 2006 11:44 am) I bough a 07 Honda CRv-EX and am considering whether to buy the EW. It is like yours 7yr/100k miles. Where did you get the Honda Care warranty from? From the dealer? Is it god at any Honda repair shop? what's the deductible? Replies to this message: pgrunner (Nov 12, 2006 7:59 pm) pgrunner (Nov 12, 2006 8:36 pm)

Replying to: toroshto (Nov 12, 2006 3:20 pm) toroshto,   Here's where I got the quote I mentioned earlier (click Buy Now for pricing): https://www.myhondawarranty.com/benefits.php   As far as I know, it's equivalent to the one offered by the dealer and has 2 options of 0 or $100 deductible.

#1295 of 3113 extended warranty question by benjaminh Nov 17, 2006 (5:47 am)
I have a 2002 Accord LX that I bought new with the 7 years 75k mi extended HondaCare warranty with no deductible. My question is: does this warranty cover squeaks and rattles? I have a buzzy rattle coming from the passenger side rear seatbelt housing. It looks like it would involve substantial work to get in there, but it bugs me when I drive.

#1297 of 3113 extended care or not? + should I use my own trusted mechanic by mi2kshop Nov 23, 2006 (11:33 am)
Couple of questions:   I am about to get an EXL 4 Cyl MT. I am going to sift through the posts here to assess the debate, but was wondering if someone could point me to a link that briefly discusses pros and cons of getting extended warranty.   The other question is about using independent mechanic versus honda dealer. Over the years I have not had good experience with assorted dealers for servicing, but I now know a mechanic who is honest and competent. Will I run into problems if I was to use him for scheduled maintenance?
