#2920 of 3113 Re: Extended warranty Honda Pilot 4WD EXL with Rear Ent. System [malash] by jet10000 May 29, 2009 (1:33 pm)
Replying to: malash (May 29, 2009 10:30 am) Are any of the warranties by Saccucci fully refundable if you don't need to use it during the warranty period?   No, you pay a higher price through your dealer for the added option of being fully refundable. For example a Pilot warranty from Saccucci will run you about $1,160 for a 7 year/120K as opposed to the $2,100 fully refundable one.   Read the fine print on the fully refundable warranties carefully. I've seen ones that said that you can only get the full refund after the 7 year period expires. So if you decide to sell after 5 years, you can't get the full refund.   Standard Honda Care warranties such as the one sold by Saccucci offer a prorated refund based on the time/mileage. For example, I had a 7 year warranty and sold the car after 5 years, so I got a pro-rated refund straight from Honda. And I didn't pay an extra $1,000 for that option.
#2921 of 3113 Honda Insight extended warranty and XM radio. by artpro Jun 01, 2009 (7:48 am)
I just purchased a new Honda Insight, with an extended warranty at a cost of $1642 (employee price, they said) 7yr/100,000mi beyond the 36 months. Should I keep the warranty or cancel?   Online warranty purchases is being disallowed by Honda at the moment.   The XM radio has to be installed, they asked $391 for the purchase and installation. Should I move forward with it or cancel. (this xm radio does not support traffic reports.)

Replying to: artpro (Jun 01, 2009 7:48 am) so far I know there are 2 states CA and FL are not sold by online. I wonder whether it works if they call in instead of online or completely not honor any warranty bought from anywhere outside its state.

I wonder whether it works if they call in instead of online or completely not honor any warranty bought from anywhere outside its state.   The warranties are honored at all Honda dealerships no matter which state it was purchased in.   Florida has a law that the warranties can only be sold to Florida residents by Florida dealers. That's why none of the online dealers sell to Florida residents.   In California, the law is less clear. Some of the online dealers stopped selling to California. Last time I checked, however, curryhondacare.com did not mention of a restriction to selling to California residents.

#2925 of 3113 New Odyssey Extended Coverage by lindylou65 Jun 17, 2009 (5:23 am)
Sorry for a stupid question, but we are in the process of purchasing an '09 Odyssey in Texas. Of course, the dealer is trying to sell us the Honda Care warranty and is asking for $2100 for 7 years, 100K miles. Is it really worth the extra cost for the warranty? And are there any additional questions we should ask? Thanks for your help! Replies to this message: jet10000 (Jun 17, 2009 7:11 am) bigdadi118 (Jun 17, 2009 7:11 am) fordfool (Jun 17, 2009 3:49 pm)
#2926 of 3113 New Odyssey Extended Coverage by artpro Jun 17, 2009 (5:55 am)
No such thing as a stupid question! In fact it's an excellent one. We just bought the 2010 Insight and purchased the extended warranty $1650 for 10years or/100,000 miles whichever came first.   Having been a Honda owner since 1979 and never had a problem with any of our cars (including the Acura & the 2000 Insight and our 1984 CRX), I was hesitant. However, the new cars are laden with technology, so we decided it would be wise to have it. After researching, we were satisfied that our dealer's price & terms were within reason. I would negotiate with your dealer. Sounds pricey and the terms are shaky. Maybe go to another dealer and tell your dealer that's what you have to do to shop appropriately. If you are a COSTCO shopper, be sure to go to a dealer that reps them.

Just go to myhondawarranty.com.   It looks like they are selling the 7 year 100K for the Odyssey for $1,055. It's the real Honda Care and you'll get the paperwork from the corporate office in California, the same as you would if you bought it in Texas.

Replying to: lindylou65 (Jun 17, 2009 5:23 am) Honda Care Extended Warranty can be bought online a lot cheaper than local dealers.   Google search :"Honda Care Extended Warranty"... they are the same why pay more?

Replying to: lindylou65 (Jun 17, 2009 5:23 am) Tell the salesperson that you want the Honda Care extended warranty... at the lowest Internet price that you could find. If they refuse to match the best Internet price, inform them that you will be purchasing the Odyssey somewhere else as well. That should get a reaction as well as the desired result.
