2006 Accord Extended Warranty by njhondadude3

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.

Is the $1,000 in addition to the $500 or in place of it? If the total cost is $1,000 it might be worth it to take it to 7 year, 100K. Is a genuine Honda Care warranty or is it a third party?

By getting it certified, you have the engine and powertrain covered to 100k miles. What more will an extended warranty cover that $1000 will not? In other words, do you think you will have $1000 worth of warranty repairs.

Its $1000 on top of the $500. So total is $1500.
 
The EW covers stuff that breaks, bumper to bumper. For example, the AC or electrical issues. Do I feel lucky about this car to not have $1000 of repairs in the next 3.5 years? I don't know, this is my first Honda. If I don't decide tomorrow, I still have until the end of the certification period (12k/12 months) to get one. Just wanted opinions on the cost and whether it made sense.

If you are paying to get it certified, why get the extended warranty on top of it? If you weren't getting it certified, then the $1000 warranty is a very good price. Personally, i would pass or at the very least wait a few months to see how the car holds up. Also check on the Honda forum to see if folks are having particular problems with this year Honda.

Hmmm...the car was not Honda certified and they told me that they wouldn't give me an extended warranty unless it was "certified". This whole process is very slimey. The good news is I can wait until the 12K/12 months expires to decide on the extended warranty. That the dealer dropped the cost by $500 because I balked makes me wonder if I can squeeze it more. I might try.

I always say know whats covered before you sign any warranty, I had the extended warranty on my 05 Equniox with a zero deductiable, the battery went and they said I had to pay it in full, put it in myself 38,000 brakes were still good rotors warped, they said I had to pay, also put them in myself and so on.
Bottom line always ask and then let them show it to you in the agreement where it says it, nobody ever seems to give a straight answer when you ask that question, again no matter what kind of warranty you get.

So I decided to not buy the EW. Even my car salesman recommended not buying it, which was bit of a shock. I remain hopeful that I made the right decision....
