#1329 of 3113 Re: Are extended warranty and paint protection or lowjack neccessary? [cccompson] by bobw3 Dec 04, 2006 (10:55 am)
Replying to: cccompson (Dec 04, 2006 4:39 am) I agree about the need for EW. I've driven typically unreliable cars (Ford Escort, Mercury Cougar, etc) and I've put a lot of miles on them but they've been pretty reliable before 100,000 miles and the 120,000 mile point is when the repair bills started coming in (maybe that's why 120,000 miles is the highest EW you can get). If I spent $1000 on every car I ever bought, I'd be in the hole quite a bit, but on the other hand, at some point I might get unlucky and have to replace a transmission at 80,000 miles, but even if I did, I'd still be ahead based on all the other cars where I didn't buy the EW.   So if this is what I'm getting on old Fords, I'd think that with Honda you'd be pretty safe without an EW. On the other hand, as some other people have posted, if you have a vehicle with a lot of new gadgets on it, some brand new feature, or if there is some specific reason for the reliability to be suspect, then you may want to get an EW.

Replying to: tmcgilvray (Dec 06, 2006 3:22 pm) Great website. Thanks.   Do you know of a similar website for Infiniti cars?   Spyderred.

Replying to: tmcgilvray (Dec 06, 2006 3:22 pm) Sorry, I'm not too impressed with www.hondacaresource.com. They misquoted the 0% interest 7/0/120k fee charged by myhondawarranty.com at $955 when it is really $900 (with $25 admin fee and $25 HondaParts certificate). That is cheaper than the Bernardi rate at $900 with a $50 admin fee. If I'm not mistaken, Mr. McGilvray works at Bernardi.   Buyers beware!

Replying to: stevehecht (Dec 06, 2006 10:06 pm) I wondered about the "owner" of myhondawarranty.com site. Did some fishing and found a name to whom the name is registered. The same name comes up as having connection with acuracarewarranty.com (and hondawarrantyinfo.com). Both sites may have the same web designer.   Acuracarewarranty.com has Bernadi as links in the header bar and clearly says it's maintained by same (http://www.hondawarrantyinfo.com/acura/).   Is there a connection between the sites and a particular dealer? Is the information on warranties from other sources correct? Replies to this message: gardinerr (Dec 07, 2006 9:15 am) dwynne (Dec 08, 2006 10:48 am) qwerty_oc (Dec 09, 2006 9:45 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: stevehecht (Dec 06, 2006 10:06 pm) I ASSUME the site is set up to pull quotes from the other online dealers periodically and I would think, automatically. I have no idea how often it checks, but I would guess any such system would not be goof-proof. Heck, if someone typed the prices in manually it is not likely to be right all the time .   Before someone buys they should check all the sources for the latest prices - for sure if you want to do something like finance the warranty purchase. It looks like it is neck and neck between Saccucci and Bernardi right now for the lowest prices - but I have not checked in a few days   Dennis

Replying to: imidazol97 (Dec 07, 2006 5:21 am) My name is Gardiner and I run MyHondaWarranty.com for Saccucci Honda. I watch these forums daily and when I saw this new website popping up, I too was concerned about the ownership.   The design aspects are very similiar to Bernardi Website. I sent the owner an e-mail with my contact info, and quickly got a phone call from him. The owner of the site previously worked for Bernardi, and did their warranty site design. He has started his own business and being familiar with the Honda Care internet market created this comparison shopping website. I will be meeting with him in the near future, and hope to work with him so we can provide accurate pricing information.   If anybody has any questions for me about my websites or Honda Care, please feel free to ask.   We are currently redesigning our Honda Care and Ford ESP Websites to make them more user friendly.

#1336 of 3113 HondaCare roadside assistance vs AAA by jimmibondi Dec 08, 2006 (9:40 am)
I have been debating buying the hondacare warranty. I think if it replaces half of my AAA coverage (for me and my wife), it is definitely worth it. Cursory reading of the benefits seem to indicate that the two are similar. Are they?   AAA sells it's membership to named individuals, not specific vehicles. If I get hondacare for my honda does anyone know how I can buy roadside assistance for my other car?

Replying to: gardinerr (Dec 07, 2006 9:15 am) Thanks for posting - and thanks for your low prices   I have not purchased from Saccucci - yet - when I needed coverage Bernardi or (farther back) another dealer was cheapest. Last time I did check, you appeared to be about the cheapest - and for sure if someone wanted to do the 0% finance deal I think you had the best deal.   Dennis Replies to this message: qwerty_oc (Dec 09, 2006 9:45 pm) dwynne (Dec 10, 2006 2:57 pm)

Replying to: dwynne (Dec 08, 2006 10:48 am) Has anyone had experience with purchasing through Saccucci/myhondawarranty, I purchased a new Pilot today and of course the finance person used all kinds of scare tactics to discourage me from buying the hondacare from them.
