They key word here is "pre-owned". If you were to buy a "new" vehicle from the dealer and purchased the warranty after the 6k, it would still go back to the original date of purchase and 0 miles or whateve was on the odometer when the vehicle was purchased.
 
What you stated is completely untrue. The key word is not "pre-owned" but the key phrase is "pre-owned plan" which is the phrase that Saccuccui used in their website. It defined what a pre-owned plan was "(vehicles over 6,000 miles)". There was no designation made that the vehicle needed to be re-sold to qualify for that plan. "Pre-owned plan" is just the phrase that Honda Care uses to refer to plans they sell for vehicles that are higher than 6,000 miles. Granted it's probably a confusing phrase.
 
Note that you did not post any link or reference to back up your claim that the coverage would go back to whatever odometer reading the vehicle had when it was sold (whether new or used) nor will you be able to because what you said is completely false information.

Yeah it does say that the date starts at the time of the contract for >6k. However that seems fishy to me, if I wait until just shy of 36m/36k miles and then buy a 72m/84k warranty, that means I get it for up to 108m/120k miles vehicle miles, when i could only get up to 96/120k when it was new?
 
But you're assuming that they offer a 72m/84k warranty for a vehicle just shy of 36m/36k, and that's not the case.
 
Just go to myhondawarranty.com, enter a 2006 vehicle with 35,000 miles and you'll see that the longest warranty you can get is now 60m/60k. Added to the factory warranty, that is less than the total amount of coverage you could've gotten if you had purchased one of the pre-6,000 mile plans.

You've pointed out one of the biggest reasons to get the EW before 6k miles. Are there other reasons beside the coverage availability (mileage limit) and added expense (I assume paying for the EW later doesn't make-up for the price increase, but it may make-up for any reduction in cancellation due to selling vehicle or it getting totaled) for buying the EW before 6k miles?
Thanks,

Another advantage to purchasing before 6k miles is that you get the roadside assistance for the full term of the contract. That's can be worth approximately $55 per year if you bought it through AAA.

For those who got the Honda Care, did you pay for it upfront or was it added on top of your payments if you financed. Was it spread out yearly (equally) or financed? I got 6yrs/80K/0 for $1200 financed at 3.9% for 5 years (same financing rate as the van). I feel i got jacked comparing with the prices i've seen on this site. I was not prepared when i was closing the deal and was lulled into getting it when the dealer said i can cancel within 60 days and can't get that 'deal' anywhere else if i don't get it by then.
Looks like the best price i found was $1195 8yrs/120K./0 from hondacareextendedwarranty.com. I plan on holding on the Ody long term.

I paid upfront with one of the dealers online after I had purchased the vehicles, so I did not have it financed.
 
You probably should cancel the plan within the first 60 days and then buy it for the $1,195 with the extra 2 years and 40,000 miles of coverage for the same price. After all, it's in the later time period where there is a higher risk of something going wrong with the vehicle.

It does not look like curryhondacare.com restricts purchases to California residents---only to Florida residents.
 
On the prices I just checked, their rates are about $275 higher than myhondawarranty.com. However, when you request a quote, they immediately send you an email for another $90 off, so that equals $185 higher.
 
But if you can't get any actual California dealer to get that low, Curry Honda may provide California residents with the best online price. I purchased a Honda Care from them many years ago and they gave good service.

Hi! I just purchased an '09 4 Cycle Accord and it has 5250 miles on it. I foolishly purchased the Honda Care through the Dealer and paid $1450 for a 8mo/120K/100deductible. I already talked to them and told them my intent was to cancel unless they could match the online prices ($940) for a 8mo/120K/nodeductible. They said they couldn't do it and it was lower than their cost, but said to come right in and cancel.
 
I'm kinda iffy about purchasing one online even with all of the success of everyone in the forum. I was going to send an email to all of the nearby dealers to see if any of them would match it, but I can't seem to find their email addresses on their websites! Am I missing something or is there somewhere else I should be looking!?
 
My dealer was in Schaumburg, IL.
 
Also, I was just reading on the Honda Care website and they offer something called the "Sentinel" which covers the cost of oil changes and if something happens to your tires. Anyone found any luck pricing that online?
