Good luck with your vehicle purchase!

Can anyone recommend a EW for a 2005 Odyssey with 46K miles. I didn't purchase the Honda Care initially, because I didn't intend to keep the vehicle beyond 3 years. Well the family is still loving he van and now I'm about to be without any coverage and would like a good reputable warranty. Went to a couple dealers in the are who are offering products costing $2K. But I'm not sure these companies truly offer nationwide service. I really don't understand why Honda doesn't offer plans for vehicles after the warranty expiration.

Just purchased a Ridgeline. After I got home, I realized the Honda Dealer sold me a Fidelity, not Honda Care policy. Was never disclosed. No thanks. In reading this board, I learned about the Satucci warranty. Went back, cancelled my Fidelity warranty, and after some haggling, offered the dealer $ 50 over the Satucci Price. Was able to combine it into my 2.9% 5 yr APR. I know car warranties are generally a bad buy. My last Honda Care was, since my repair cost was only $150, over the 7 years. However, my EW paid off handsomely on my lemon VW Passat. It also paid off on my GM Malibu, when it had to be towed from my garage 2 weeks after the 3 year warranty expired. Bad starter. Then everything went bad. All cars can have problems. From the Toyota engine sludge issue, to the bad Honda Accord transmissions. I'll sleep well for the next 7 years. Bought my EW from my dealer, but the Satucci printout saved me a bunch. Thanks all.

Does an aftermarket DVD void your warranty on an 08EX-L. Dealer wasn't sure.

From the HCEW " What is not covered " : WHAT IS NOT COVERED by Honda Care Parts other than genuine HONDA or AMERICAN HONDA authorized parts. |

Such a pleasant tone to this forum since we are back to helping people. Looks like your personal experience is 2:3 in favor of EW's. Honda's in general are well built. HCOA's experience are that for the majority nothing, or not enough will happen thereby earning them a profit. But if you happen to be in the minority (it happens) then it will suck if you didn't have one. The HCEW that made the most sense to me was the 120,000 mile 8 year version. Some cars will have no problems from 75-100,000 miles but many will experience problems over 100,000 miles.So if you have bought a Honda to run it into the ground, then the long HCEW makes sense imho. HCEW only sells to vehicles with mileage under 36,000 so if you flip your cars you probably are best to do without. But jet10000 has commented on getting better resale values offering it with HCEW. At the current online price of $10 a month for the Accord 4 cyl at 8/120 ( Never pay retail! ) it is cheap insurance as far as relative insurance values go. |

Now that i will agree with. Insurance is nothing more then a numbers game. You need more policy premiums coming in then you have claims going out. Insurance/warranty's are a funny product. it is something the consumer pays for that they hope they never need, but are glad they did when they need it.

Replying to: applecore323 (Oct 29, 2008 1:19 pm) Many people have road service, which is just another form of warranty. People pay for it hoping never to use it. Wonder how many people that consider waranties a waste of time, have road coverage? By the way, in my first post, I forget about my very early warranties. Got a new transmission when my Chevy Caprice seized up. Also received 2 air conditioner replacements on my son's Dodge Shadow. I guess that's why I don't have a great problem with these warranties. I just googled Mini Cooper complaints. Consumer Reports recommends the Mini. What a nightmare. You never really know. I can afford a warranty, but would really be hurt by a $ 2500 repair.
