Wonder how many people that consider waranties a waste of time, have road coverage? " Like you I ran the numbers, though you might have to explain to gen x what a slide rule is. My previous AAA coverage (basic) at $55 per year x 8 = $440. $960-440 = $ 4.33 per month for near bumper to bumper coverage for 8/120. I found that cheap on a risk reward analysis and so let the dealership add it on but at an online price. Since I would maintain auto club services regardless, it sealed the deal. VMMV. |

", I brought in the online pricing, and paid $ 50 above that for the $ 0 deductible 7 year warranty." I do not understand why people like to pay above invoice or above an online price. The best bet is to pay below invoice or below online price... at least make it the same. |

I can't disagree with your position. Please consider that people that buy warranties tend to be risk adverse. You are willingly paying for something that you realize is probably a poor investment. Consistent with this risk adverse mentality, is the thought that maybe buying online may cause some problem. Whereas buying from your local dealer is more comforting. You are correct. I don't disagree with you. I'm just answering your good question. I was willing to pay the extra $ 50, - my dealer refused to go lower. By the way, paid the extra $ 50, but wrapped it into my 2.9% 5 year loan. Makes it a breakeven-don't you think?

I'm sure many people have posted about buying warranties online, but I just had to share my experience (so that other Honda customers don't make the mistake of paying too much for a warranty). I recently purchased a Honda Care extended warranty for my 2008 Honda Accord (4 cyl, LX). I ended up buying it online, since the dealer I bought the car from tried to sell me the same warranty...for almost double the online price! I shopped around & researched a number of sites; this site had the lowest price ($25 off all new contracts): http://www.hondacareextendedwarranty.com/ Bob Leab at Hyannis Honda in MA. I called & spoke to Bob before buying. He answered all of my questions & my contract was processed quickly & easily. I thanked him for providing a great service to all consumers, & for not trying to rip me off! 6yrs/120K miles/$0 deductible, for $760. I spoke to a co-worker/friend of mine who used to sell warranties; she said it was a great price. (The dealer I bought the car from, in NJ, tried to sell me the same warranty for $1400. I know we all have to make a living, but come on...that's just disgusting.) Thank you Bob Leab! |
