Replying to: krh294 (Feb 06, 2009 7:52 pm) Are Oil Changes covered up to $25 with the warranty?   As the sample contract says Section D & E only applies to Sentinel Services. I don't know exactly what Sentinel is, but it is not apart of the typical Honda Care and so oil changes would not be covered.

Replying to: krh294 (Feb 06, 2009 7:56 pm) With the rear veiw camera being displayed in the 09 EX-L non navi Odyssey would that be covered?   Yes, see section A of the sample contract on myhondawarranty.com.   http://www.myhondawarranty.com/Honda_Care_Warranty_Sample.pdf   It mentions computers, electronics and navigation devices (of which I think is used to display the video from the rear camera.)

Replying to: ryo998 (Feb 08, 2009 7:49 am) I looked around on the internet at out of state dealers but I guess right now nobody is selling to California.   Did you check curryhondacare.com? I believe they only restrict sales to Florida.   Also, when you get an online quote, be sure to check your email for a promo code that is another $95 less than the quoted price.

Replying to: RoBoRaT (Feb 08, 2009 9:43 am) Hi Rod,   When I give them the VIN, won't they know that the car was sold in California and registered to my home address even if I give them an out of state mailing address?   Michael Replies to this message: jet10000 (Feb 09, 2009 1:56 pm) RoBoRaT (Feb 09, 2009 7:54 pm)

Not cars sold in California. If you have a legal mailing address in another state, then the selling dealer can sell to you regardless of where you bought the car.   As far as they know, you recently moved there, or you just went to California to buy the car because you got a good deal.   As I said, yesterday, if you check curryhondacare.com, you may be able to buy as a California resident without having to worry about a different address.
#2865 of 3112 A full refund on an extended warranty by mjbreitenbach Feb 09, 2009 (3:35 pm)
I will be picking up my car 09 Accord EX-L V6 for 28.6 plus tax, title, and license, next week and was wondering about the extended warranty. A 6 year / 75k mile warranty was $1185 + tax but is fully refundable if I don't make a claim against it. Doesn't seem like I have much to lose if I decide to get it, except for the interest I would have earned. I visited the online dealer's website, the one involved in the lawsuit, and saw it was much cheaper, but I don't know if they offer a full refund if the warranty is unused. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Replies to this message: jet10000 (Feb 09, 2009 11:17 pm) sliderule43 (Mar 21, 2009 2:22 pm)

Replying to: ryo998 (Feb 09, 2009 1:28 pm) I also bought mine in Hemet, Ca (north of SD) - none of the SoCal dealer will match the online price so I bought one from Bernardi....got the contract and cards 2 weeks later...my Dad had to mail me the contract booklet from Wa to my place in SoCal.   It does not matter where you bought the car....   You might want to buy the EW soon....Honda is about to shut down all internet EW sale.

They will give you a prorated refund (whether used or not) depending on time or mileage.   The dealer you're looking at charges you extra up front in order to pay for the option to refund 100%. Read the fine print carefully. To collect, you may have to keep your car for the entire 6 years. In other words, if you sell before then, you get no refund either.   Honda Care pro-rated refund is more flexible. If I sell it, I get some money back. Or the person I'm selling to can pay a small fee and have the balance of the Honda Care put in their name.   Also, the 100% refund discourages you from ever using the warranty. With standard Honda Care, I use it on any covered repair with no hesitation. In your case, you'd probably want a repair to be near $1,185 in value or you'd just pay for the repair in hopes you could get the money back.
