Replying to: duke23 (Dec 10, 2008 8:29 pm) I think there is a $25 processing fee for canceling the Honda Care after 60 days. I found it in section V.B. of this sample contract: http://www.hondacareextendedwarranty.com/contract.php

To those that don't, no problem either but factual data as well please. |

I just purchased an 06 civic. I very stupidly just realized that the original sale date of the car to the original owner was 10/05. So, it's actually past the 3 year in-service date to make it eligible to purchase a Honda care warranty. My question is, if I just claim I don't know the vehicle in-service date, can I get away with buying a Honda care warranty? If I didn't have the Carfax report, I don't think I'd have any way of knowing. Is there any chance I'd get away with just checking the "less than 3 years" box? Or, will any dealer I'm buying the warranty from have those records? Or, will any dealer I'm getting the car serviced at have the same records?

I suspect the latter and that the vin# will be your undoing. There's always Warranty Direct although the latter's plan is inferior to HCEW. |

Replying to: tidester (Dec 09, 2008 4:29 pm) I bought a HC 6year/80k for my Accord 3.5 years back. Never used it. I'm at 60k now - - - paid Ray Laks about $585 online (I'm in CA) for it. What sort of rebate (how much) are we looking at here? Season's best. ez....

Replying to: ezshift5 (Dec 19, 2008 6:14 am) My understanding is that you can get the refund on the lesser amount between prorated miles and prorated time. In your case, the mileage refund would be (20/80) × $585 = $146.25 versus the time refund (2.5/6) × $585 = $243.75. tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper |

Recently purchased a Honda Certified 2003 Odyssey and think the Extended Warranty I agreed to buy is excessive. The van has 79,000 miles on it so I basically paid $1295 for 21,000 miles or May 2010. Did I get ripped off? I feel like I did ... could I cancel it and get the same bumper-to-bumper coverage somewhere else? Any thoughts/suggestions appreciated.

Replying to: ldog01 (Dec 18, 2008 8:06 pm) No, when the car is first purchased from a Honda dealer, the in-service date is placed into the Honda database. This is the reason that you can take the car in for repairs to any Honda dealer and they can see from their computer if your car is under factory warranty or not. So when they would try to process your Honda Care request with that VIN number it would immediately be flagged. |
