Replying to: traindriver (Jan 26, 2009 12:15 pm) You are completely incorrect about this. What you cut and copied completely contradicts the statement you made. Coverage for a new auto begins when the vehicle is originally put into service and at zero miles. Coverage for a pre-owned plan(vehicles over 6,000 miles) begins on the service contract purchase date, and at the mileage on the odometer on that date. As the person's car has more than 6,000 miles the mileage begins at whatever the odometer is on the purchase date. In this case if they have 35,000 miles, they add 60,000 miles to that. Same way with the time. As for people waiting until 35,999 miles to buy an 8/120 warranty, those aren't offered after 6,000 miles. A 5/60 is probably the best that is offered for a car that old. Just go to myhondawarranty.com and you can see this for yourself by getting a quote for a 35,000 mile nearly 3 year old vehicle.

A verdict in the Honda Care injunction hearing was reached today. The Federal Court judge has sided with Honda. I will release more details tomorrow as we read through the judgement. If you plan on purchasing do it ASAP. Gardiner Saccucci Honda

Replying to: jet10000 (Jan 26, 2009 1:47 pm) Is it worth almost $1300 to cover the car, bumper to bumper till 95000 miles? |

Replying to: jet10000 (Jan 26, 2009 1:47 pm) You are correct. I had researched this for my sister a few weeks ago who purchased a NEW 09. What I stated is correct for new cars under 6000 miles. For older cars, what you stated is correct. Apparently the contracts are handled differently and priced accordingly. Coverage for a new auto begins when the vehicle is originally put into service and at zero miles. Coverage for a pre-owned plan(vehicles over 6,000 miles) begins on the service contract purchase date, and at the mileage on the odometer on that date. This statement seems misleading to me and should be worded differently. Further clarification is needed regarding exactly when the coverage ends. I am sure others have made the same mistake that I made.

Replying to: traindriver (Jan 26, 2009 3:17 pm) I agree. It gets especially confusing because they chose to call it a pre-owned plan, when the car may or may not be pre-owned.

Replying to: jet10000 (Jan 26, 2009 3:37 pm) It took me a good bit of "googling" before I was willing to admit "defeat."  I couldn't find clear answers on any of the big three online sites that are mentioned most often in this forum nor at a few more that popped up on a google search. Finally I found this at officialhondacare-at-delrayacura.com and was able to see that you were 100% correct: Do you have a 2006-2007 Honda with less than 6000 miles? If your Honda was placed in service Jan-2006 & you buy 8Yr/100k mi extended warranty in 2007, your 8/100 warranty would expire in Jan-2014 or at 100k miles ...whichever occurs 1st (even though it's a 2007 warranty purchase) . . . . O R . . . for ALL other eligible Hondas? An example: If your Honda has 34000 miles and you buy the 4 yr / 48k miles Plan on a "certain day" 2007. You will be covered until you either reach 82000 miles or until "certain day" 2011. Whichever occurs first, mileage or date What if my Honda has over 36,000 miles or is over 36 months? Under either of those 2 conditions, American Honda will only accept Honda Care applications if they are purchased at the time the Honda is purchased. Therefore, unfortunately, our site cannot help you purchase a Honda Care extended warranty.

Replying to: traindriver (Jan 26, 2009 3:53 pm) It took me a good bit of "googling" before I was willing to admit "defeat." No big deal. I only knew how they worked because I have been posting on this thread for some time now. The examples you found at Delray Acura definitely cleared up the matter. Nice find. |
