#2795 of 3093 Honda Care vs. Fidelity by jufison Jan 02, 2009 (10:27 am)
I bought a 2009 Manual Accord LX in early November. It has just over 3,000 miles on it.   I apparently researched every aspect of the process except extended warranties. I was going to not get one, but in a moment of weakness I got one at the dealer without really knowing what I was doing.   I bought a 6 year/72,000 mile warrant through Fidelity Warranty Services. I didn't realize that this wasn't a factory one, or what the difference was. I did get the price knocked down a few hundred and paid $1100 for it. Supposedly, if I don't use it I get the amount I paid for it back.   My 60 days to turn in this warranty is up in the next couple of days. I am currently planning on keeping this vehicle for quite a while (certainly past the warranty) and there is a chance that I may get to 72K in under 6 years.   Should I turn this warranty back in? Are they going to honor me getting my money back in 72K? Is it going to be hassle?   Should I instead buy a Honda Care, even if I don't get my money back?   Help...please!   Thanks,   Jim Replies to this message: dtownfb (Jan 03, 2009 5:47 am) jet10000 (Jan 06, 2009 5:19 pm) su_a_ve (Jan 08, 2009 6:27 am)

Can someone recommend online vendors for Honda Car Care Warranties? I am not sure how legitimate are the bunch I get when I google.    I live in Indiana with 4,900 miles in an Accord 09 and the dealer asks close to 3000 for 7 year/120,000 warranty. Thanks!

Go with them...they are the best bar none on a Honda. There are two internet sites from dealers in the northeast that sell them at great prices. Do a search in this forum for both names. Good luck.   The Sandman

Replying to: jole (Jan 02, 2009 1:13 pm) go to post 2459 to see the 3 dealers who get mentioned most often. skim the posts from the last year in this forum and you will see many happy customers. IIRC, the best deals end when you reach 6,000 miles so don't waste any time. Also, one site says that prices will increase 1/5/09. Don't drag your feet if you are interested.

Replying to: kynaston (Dec 30, 2008 5:00 pm) Buy it now or before the promotion ends on the 5th. I just bought an 09 CRV-EX for $900.00 under invoice and received overbook on my 06 CRV. Honda's are selling, so I do not suspect that they will lower the rates. They may extend the 3.90, but that is about it.

Replying to: jufison (Jan 02, 2009 10:27 am) My two cents... I would return the Fidelity warranty and get the geunine Honda Care warranty. Read through the posts and you'll find a few dealers that sell the warranties online.

#2802 of 3093 New purchase and Honda care by su_a_ve Jan 04, 2009 (8:03 pm)
On sat, I settled for a new 09 LX. But since dealer has to find the car (it was late Saturday), I have to get it mid week. Today, I'm more inclined to spend the extra $20 a month and get an LX-P, mostly thinking ahead on resale value (mostly the sec. system and alloy wheels).   however, also looking at the possibility of keeping this car, asked for prices on an extended warranty. for 8yr/120k, they wanted 1900 (plus tax). Looking at the dealers prices posted before, it would be just under $1k for the same price, and even with the price increase (since the deal won't be settled until later in the week) it would be much better. Also, afaik, they won't collect sales tax...
#2803 of 3093 Hyannis prices stayed the same by su_a_ve Jan 05, 2009 (12:25 pm)
FYI,   Just got of the phone with Hyannis regarding Honda Care plans after today. The prices did not change and they'll be updating the web site to allow new plan purchases.   The other two dealers are charging the exact same (except one offering a coupon for accessories and the other one a 1 year payment plan).

You have plenty of time to buy a Honda Care with much better coverage and at a lower price if you want. But there's no advantage to keeping that Fidelity at that rate.   Just go back to the dealer, fill out the forms, jump through the hoops and get your full refund.
