Replying to: ncleaf (Dec 19, 2008 10:02 am) What company is providing the extended warranty? Since the vehicle has so many miles on it, I think you may have trouble finding a better price. Honda Care doesn't even sell extended coverage if the vehicle is older than 3 years or has more than 36,000 miles.

Replying to: ncleaf (Dec 22, 2008 6:39 am) Well, I knew Honda Care could be transferred from the original purchaser to a used car buyer. But I didn't know that a dealer could sell the balance of a 7 year, 100,000 mile Honda Care to someone buying a certified used Honda. That's a new one for me. If they were able to do that, make sure you get all of your paperwork from Honda Care. And even though it sounds costly, I don't think you're going to get any coverage for less money because the vehicle has so many miles on it already---there's a higher probability that something could go wrong. |

I just called US Fidelis on my 2005 Accord EX w/ Nav. 79,483 miles They will cover the car for an additional 80,000 miles or additional 5 years and want $2,675. That gives me coverage up to nearly 160,000 miles. I haven't done much research yet, although, Honda Warranty won't cover me as I'm over 36,000 miles. Any thoughts on whether or not this sounds like a reasonable deal? Thanks very much and Merry Christmas!! --bob

I was planning to purchase an extended warranty for my new 2008 Odyssey, but I was hesitant to purchase one because of how much my local dealer was charging ($2073 for 84mos/120k). I thought I would just take care of it after Christmas. Unfortunately, we went on a trip and drove about 1,000 miles. The van now has about 6,400 miles on it. Does this mean that I can no longer purchase a new Honda Care warranty? I wish I had discovered this forum sooner. It appears that 72mos/102k is now the best I can do. Some of the dealers like Saccucci and Bernardi will quote prices for an extended warranty for the van, but are these bumper-to-bumper Honda Care warranties? Does anyone have any suggestions?

You were wise to ignore the exorbitant prices of your dealer, but still may purchase from any of your online alternatives. Post back and we'll supply. So you can purchase a new HC extended warranty and get new care pricing. The only complication will come from if you reside in the " we've got big electoral college votes states of FL or CA " In their wisdom, they have decided that such divination should only occurr from state designed AAL. Apologies to the legitimate AAL. If you are not, you can go online and get a real deal. If not then you are screwed, thinking scooby doo untranslatable. But there are remedial alternatives so do not remorse.
