Replying to: cody2007 (Sep 17, 2008 4:42 pm) You can't buy a warranty on anything. A warranty is a Manufacturer's promise to take care of manufacturing defects. You may buy a service contract, wherein a company promises to pay for repairs as outlined in the contract. The only contract I would ever recommend would be one that is backed by, even if only tangentally-as in HondaCare-by the manufacturer. Replies to this message: duke23 (Sep 18, 2008 8:17 pm)

I would like to get a warranty that goes till 120,000 or 150,000. Dealer is quoting upward of $1600 for the 120k warranty, and 1099 for a 5/100k warranty.   I am new to this forum, so would appreciate tips on negotiating with the dealer. I would prefer to buy it from the dealer itself for various reasons.

Advice to prospective HC EW purchasers. Never pay retail. Use the online if you must, as what HC Ew is worth.Pay not a penny more regardless of where you buy.

Replying to: tidester (Sep 28, 2008 12:08 am) I think Honda should rethink their stance on this issue. The policy they have adopted is just Un-American.   LETTER TO THE EDITOR FROM AUTOMOTIVENEWS.COM   Saccucci: Let's hear it for free enterprise DALE FEIGLEY, MILFORD, MICH. THE WRITER IS A FORMER AUTO DEALER. SEPTEMBER 22, 2008 - 12:01 AM ET   To the Editor:   Boohoo for Honda and the Honda dealer group ("Honda's family squabble," Sept. 8).   Here comes an enterprising young man, Gardiner Reynolds, who builds a better mousetrap to help save a small family dealership. He is successful in selling Honda extended warranties over the Internet to help keep the small store afloat.   Initially, Honda loves it and uses him as a model of entrepreneurship in America. The big Honda dealers, however, are losing business to him and want Honda to shut him down.   Having had a small, family-owned dealership near a large metropolitan area, I know how difficult it is to compete with much larger dealerships and dealership groups. The big stores had no problem selling in our area with cut-rate pricing. However, when customers needed personal service or had a service problem they couldn't get handled, they came back to us.   Sound familiar? That is a fact of life in business. That is free enterprise. You big guys could do the same thing that this whiz, Gardiner Reynolds, is doing for Saccucci Honda. Quit crying and get back to work.
