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.

I bought a honda 2009 few days back with warrantry.The dealer offered me a 3rd party warrntry and said it would cover evertying but when I read their contract after coming home. I realize that there are huge number of clauses that could not cover most kind of repairs. Also I read their contract and I can cancel their warantry before 60 days at no cost. I am in sacramento area, I would like to find out how to go about getting Extended warrantry from Honda (not third Party). I would appreciate your help

I would appreciate your help Some online dealers don't sell to California. However, this College Hills Honda does not say anything about restrictions to sales in California. http://www.collegehillshonda.com/hondacare/warranty.htm

Has anyone heard anything about new pricing for Honda Care product going into effect April 1, 2009? There is something up on Saccucci Honda about price increases April 1 (though I think there was a similar claim for Jan 1 with no price increase). Thanks, mkielm |

Replying to: LocaRoja (Mar 21, 2009 10:53 am) Thanks so much for providing this information! I (for one) appreciate your thanks, and it sounds like you saved a considerable amount of money, but I think you could have done even better. How much was the zero-deductible warranty? I love Saccucci Honda, but the last time I looked at their site their zero-deductible warranty only cost $100 more than their $100-deductible warranty. Thus, I consider Saccucci's pricing structure to be something of an intelligence test and/or a gentle trap for the unwary. Let's do the math: You go in for a covered repair and it costs you $100. Now you're at break-even with the cost of the zero-deductible warranty. Later you go in for another covered repair and pay another $100, and now you're $100 behind. Every time you go in for a covered repair you fall behind an additional $100. Not only is it costing you a lot more, but you now have a disincentive to getting your car repaired and you are more likely to "accept" the problems without getting them fixed. With that sort of pricing structure I can see no real justification for choosing the $100-deductible warranty over the zero-deductible warranty, since the only way you can possibly come out ahead is to never use the warranty at all. |

I put some money down on a 2006 Honda Accord, 32K miles. Its past the 3 year mark since birth. I agreed to make it a "Honda Certified" auto for $500 which gives me the 12 months/12K bumper to bumper warranty & powertrain to 100K while they bring the car up to spec if anything is wrong. I don't know why I allowed myself to agree to this, but I got the car for a good price and the 30 day warranty wasn't enough. Yesterday, they offered me the EW for $1500 which would cover the 68K miles/44 months remaining before 7 years and 100K miles. I turned them down. Today, they lowered it to $1000. Is it worth it? The car is in good shape but stuff happens. Need some advice before tomorrow please.
