", 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! |

Replying to: a004482 (Nov 12, 2008 5:09 pm) Unfortunately, the State of Florida passed a law stating it is illegal for out of state dealers to sell extended warranties in Florida. The only thing you can do is to call around to Honda dealers in the state and see what you can get for the best price. But since they don't have to compete with the online dealers, it may be tougher to find a good price. If you find a good price, please post the dealer name. It would be very helpful to other Florida residents. |

Just wanted to post that I paid $1500 for the Honda Care 8 year /120k mile warranty on a New Odyssey that I bought today. I know I could have done better but I live in California and I couldn't buy from the out of state places I have seen online. Anthony |
