Replying to: dwynne (Dec 01, 2006 7:50 pm) I do plan to call to cancel this plan tomorrow--I had better be able to! I've already gotten a quote on the Bernardi website, and for the same money I can get 7yr/100,000 miles with $0 deductible instead of 5yr/60k miles with $100 deductible! What a rip-off! Strangely enough, I had been at Bernardi Honda earlier the same day I bought the car from Herb Chambers but Bernardi didn't have the car I wanted and couldn't meet their price.

Replying to: stevehecht (Dec 01, 2006 9:12 pm) It may depend on the coverage select and Honda model as to who is cheapest at any given time. Bernardi for 07 Accord I4 w/$0 deductible 5 years/60,000 miles warranty: $435.00 5 years/80,000 miles warranty: $530.00 5 years/100,000 miles warranty:$615.00 6 years/80,000 miles warranty: $550.00 6 years/100,000 miles warranty:$675.00 6 years/120,000 miles warranty:$775.00 7 years/80,000 miles warranty: $570.00 7 years/100,000 miles warranty:$745.00 7 years/120,000 miles warranty:$845.00 8 years/100,000 miles warranty:$825.00 8 years/120,000 miles warranty:$925.00 Saccucci for the same car (all $0 deductible): 60 months 60k miles $325 60 months 80k miles $530 72 months 80k miles $550 84 months 80k miles $570 60 months 100k miles $615 72 months 100k miles $675 84 months 100k miles $745 72 months 120k miles $775 96 months 100k miles $825 84 months 120k miles $845 96 months 120k miles $925 I usually just check the 8yr/120k or maybe 8yr/100k when I am spot checking prices and those are the same today. You also get $25 an online part or accessory with Saccuci if you order from them right now. Sounds like a better deal on this model today! Keep in mind that HC is not an extension of the bumper to bumper factory warranty, there are exclusions (like squeaks and rattles, body panels, carpet, upholstery, etc). Read the contract and be sure you can live with the exclusions before you buy. Dennis

Replying to: dwynne (Dec 02, 2006 9:53 am) I just checked Bernardi and Saccuci and they have the same rates for my V6 Accord: 5yr/80k $555 7yr/120k $900 8yr/120k $980 $0 deductible No tax on the policy for Massachusetts residents according to Bernardi, but they do charge $50 for setting up a 0% APR 1 year payment schedule. Saccuci charges a $25 fee. According to Saccuci, the 0% APR (they give you a HondaFinance credit card) would save you $81 on $1000 at 16.1% APR. (Their fee is $25 and the special $25 offer on parts cancel each other out.) But since you pay 10% down and none of the 0% deductible policies cost $1000, you won't be borrowing $1000 and the amount saved in a year will be less. In my case my credit card charges only 11.25%, so I would only save $53 in interest on $882 ($980 less 10% for the 8/0/120 plan) with Saccuci. Bernardi charges $50 for the 0% APR and does not give a $25 certificate, so the savings is only $3 ($53 saved-$50 fee). If I go with Saccuci I will save $53. Please check my math!

I have the following numbers for the following services. Does any one have better offers? Paint Protection 5yr = $295 Interior = $145 Rust Proof = $299 Low Jack Installation= $750 WarrantyDirect 7yr/100K= 1330? HondaCare 8yr/120k =980 I find myself so torned with buying all the following services. I love to have the peace of mind but adding all those numbers up results in a hole in my pocket. Any advice as to what's neccessary and what's not is greatly appreciated. Any one know if WarrantyDirect provides better protection and more reliable than Hondacare? Since WarrantyDirect claims to offer wear and tear protection sounds better but it covers less mileage and year. How likely is a reliable car like Honda gonna fail before 120Kmi? Since Hondacare doesnt have wear and tear warranty, they are not gonna replace the timing belt unless it breaks, right? Is paint protection neccesary in DC area? Is Low Jack necessary? Does it really work?

Replying to: stevehecht (Dec 02, 2006 1:02 pm) If there is something you need from their online store that the $25 will buy or count toward, that sounds like the way to go - unless you owe nothing on your card. Dennis |

Replying to: yling (Dec 02, 2006 2:49 pm) I think LoJack does work, but I don't know that it is worth the money. If your car is stolen you call them and they turn on a hidden transmitter in the car. They GIVE police departs around the country free receivers to mount in the police cars. If a transmitting (stolen) car drives close to an equipped police car the receiver detects it and points the way. In theory this lets the police get your car back for you. My thought it, that is why I pay for insurance. If my car is stolen, insurance will replace it. And I also hope that if someone does take one of mine, they NEVER bring it back. I would rather start over and not have one someone has stolen and abused. A lot of areas the police have no receivers, so if the car is taken there it will do no good. I would assume in the DC area they have the receivers, but I would found out about all the surrounding areas and see. LoJack does have a pay out if your car is not recovered. Like I said, in the past it has not been offered here so it was not an option, but I am not convinced I would pay for it for something as easily replaced as a Honda. If I owned Steve McQueen's Mustang he drove in Bullitt then yes I would have it, but for an Accord or Civic? They make thousands of those each year, don't they? Now, if someone carjacked you with your kid(s) in the car and drove off with them - then yes the LoJack would be worth its weight in gold. Dennis |

Can someone who's used this benefit explain a couple of questions for me? First, until you drop the vehicle off and have had the mechanics look at it, how do you know if you will need a rental? I work 55 miles away from home, so I typically will overnight drop off my vehicle at the dealer, at which point I need a rental to get to work the next morning. I've driven myself to work and probably have 3 hours on the clock before the dealer has even LOOKED at my vehicle...if the dealer turns around and says that the fix was simple, only 2 hours of work, am I going to get reimbursed for my rental? Second question, does the HC policy just reimburse you for rentals and YOU need to find a local rental place and rent and return and then submit receipts? It's probably not convienent like the Honda dealership giving you a loaner, is it? Detail will help me, thanks
