We purchased a 2008 Honda Pilot ExL in Feb. of 2008. We put on roughly 27k miles in the first 12 months we owned the Pilot. As I understand it there's a basic 3 year/36k warranty, and a 5 year/60k mile drivetrain warranty. I understand we can purchase an extended warranty for up to 8 years/120k miles. The question is: if we're going to be at 120k miles in roughly another 3 years, does anyone think it's really worth it to purchase the EW? I don't, but am wondering if I'm missing something. Thanks.

Between 6,000 miles and 36,000 miles, the warranties are sold in terms that begin when the warranty is purchased (as opposed to when the vehicle was placed in service as the 8 year, 120k warranty would have been) For example, If you go to myhondawarranty.com and put in 27,000 miles on a 2008 pilot, the maximum warranty you can currently buy is a 5 year 84,000 mile warranty. But that mileage is added on to your existing mileage. So mileage wise you'll be covered until 111,000 miles. (27k + 84k) Only you can decide if that additional 84,000 miles of coverage is worth the cost. |

Just got a 09 Odyessy... we got the 72mo 100,000 extended - now im beginning to regret it. ive had honda's forever some with over 100,000 miles and never had problems. is it worth the money? from the dealer it was 1899.00 with the option if unused they will refund it - however if i do decide to keep it i think ill cancel that one and go with one from that web site for less than half the cost none refundable. what are your thoughts - are the warranties needed?

I am in MA where Bernardi Honda is located, they are one of the online sellers and I can tell you that they are a legitimate dealer. I ended up at another dealership b/c of price, but they honored the Bernardi price on the warranty. Hope that helps.

Replying to: packer3 (Mar 24, 2009 5:06 pm) Well, the price of the warranty will be higher then and the coverage will be less than you can get when new. Warranties sold with the first 6,000 miles of vehicle usage get you the maximum value. And you get free roadside assistance from the time you purchase the warranty which is like a $50/year value compared to AAA. |

Hello everrybody, I am about to buy a 2006 EX-L Honda pilot.It has only 25000 miles on it. I have two questions about the vehicle. 1) It is more than 36 months old so what options do I have to buy extended warranty.The dealer quoted me $ 2300 for 7 year 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty.The vehicle does come with 7 year 100,000 power train warranty. 2) One of the door is missing the Vin number does that mean the vehicle was in an accident.I checked the car fa it is clear. thank you very mcuh regards Ranjit Mulay

Replying to: rmulay (Mar 29, 2009 6:47 am) The online dealers do not sell genuine Honda Care warranties for vehicles that are more than 36 months old. Check out the company who is providing the warranty your dealership is offering very closely. Some people have difficulty with the third party companies.
