Question on extended honda warranty by jayrider
Jul 01, 2009 (4:30 pm)

I've had several extended warranties on unreliable vehicles. 88 chev astro, 02 chrys. concorde, 03 jeep liberty. These aren't hondas with spectacular reliability across the line. I used a couple of times on the astro --never came close to breaking even. 75k miles on the concorde - zero use-- jeep still in effect-zero use.
 Fact is if it doesn't break in the original warranty, the odds are way way in honda's favor. Has anyone actually used the ext warranty? The new hondas are more bullet proof than the older ones. Save your money. I'm through with extended warranties. Plus they have exclusions not in the original warranty.

I wish that were the case. Please see some of the repair threads on the Hondas on this forum and many long term Honda owners aren't saying what you are about the newer ones being more bullet proof. I have used Honda Care before and it works great. When you buy online currently, you get a low price. Plus when I get 8 years of free roadside assistance, that covers a big part of the cost.

Does anyone know if a dealer will match the Saccucci or Bernardi extended warranty prices?

Why go through the hastle? Just buy from Saccucci or Bernardi.
 
Also the following states charge sales tax on the price of the warranty. We do not.
 
Arkansas
Connecticut
Florida
Hawaii
Iowa
Kansas
Louisiana
Nebraska
New Jersey
New York
Ohio
Pennsylvania
South Dakota
Tennessee
Utah
Virginia
Washington, D.C.
West Virginia
Wisconsin
 
What is actually keeping you from purchasing Honda Care online? I am curious.

We visit the northeast from time to time and would follow your advice. Take a driving vacation. Turn in my murano at lease end and buy a new honda. That would be the plan -if I bought a honda [possible] and if I wanted an extended warranty[unlikely.] I believe people are afraid of all the "legal" stuff posted on line. Considering all the emotional aspects of car buying -- no surprise.

extended warranty 96months 120k by sillylung

I got mine on my new accord coupe for 998.00 he showed me book price it was like half off I was like sure. He said it was the end of the month and wanted to get more sales. It was for unlimited warranty coverage like you get in your first year of a new honda but for 8 years. This was at Klein Honda in Washington state.

I think buying the EW online actually removes a bit of the "emotional" component of the car purchase. I offered to buy the EW from my dealer here in VA, but he wouldn't match the Saccucci Honda price (his actual response was "I thought they (Honda) had stopped them (Saccucci Honda) from selling online" - something smells). Another person made a common sense comment earlier, something to the effect "just make them sell the EW to you for cost if they want to sell you a car at all." I guess I wasn't ready to pull the trigger on the EW when I bought my Odyssey, but I hadn't thought of doing that anyway (and no dealer near me would come close to the deal I got anyway).
 
I ended up purchasing an EW from Saccucci Honda and it was a snap. They answered my questions online and over the phone, and Honda sent me the paperwork - no glitch, no problem, no back room pressure or inflated price.
 
Thanks Saccucci Honda, for the EW and for putting up the fight. A good American story for this Independence Day season.

Just curious which VA dealer said that about Saccucci (or if you'd rather not give a name, you can give me a county)? I may be in the market soon and wonder if it was our local dealer so I am forewarned...
 
thanks.

West Broad Honda in Henrico Co. (Richmond) - they didn't say it about Saccucci, just about buying online (though I may have then brought up the lawsuit). Hendrick Honda in DC area beat their price on my '08 Odyssey, but only by a hundred or so bucks - wasn't worth the drive for me.

I printed out the prices from Saccucci and one other online seller (they were the same) before we were to sit down and "speak" with the business mgr when we picked up the car ('09 Civic Hybrid) I had the prices to use in "negotiations." He tried to sell me a 60/60000 EW for $1656, telling me that I would get my money back (minus $50) if I never had to use it. I told him that, despite Honda's excellent reputation, I expected to have some sort of post-original warranty work needed during my expected ownership. I told him that I was willing to pay the price I had from the 2 online dealers if they would sell it to me locally. There was very little discussion and he honored the price: $860 for a 72/12000 HondaCare EW. I'm happy, they're happy. Done deal. It just goes to show that most (if not all) dealers probably pay the same to American Honda for the warranties in the first place.
