Replying to: mkielm (Jul 07, 2009 12:48 pm) 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.

Replying to: carpied (Jul 09, 2009 12:02 pm) If the online sellers make money at those prices then your local dealer is making money on a match. Congrats to you and your dealer.

Replying to: carpied (Jul 09, 2009 12:02 pm) ...is it really true that you get your money back (minus $50) if the HC EW remains unused for the life of the warranty (In my case 80k; cost was $584 - - - which will buy a LOT of Crown Royal..................   thanks, ez.....

Replying to: ezshift5 (Jul 11, 2009 7:41 pm) Hold on a minute...   the EW the dealer originally offered ME was HC, but underwritten by a THIRD PARTY who would pay back the premium ONLY if it wasn't used. NOT the HondaAmerica-backed HC EW. Sorry if it confused you.

Replying to: ezshift5 (Jul 11, 2009 7:41 pm) Some dealers will sell a rider to your HC service contract that pays you back if you never make a claim against it. This is separate from the HC contract and you pay extra for it. It's a good scheme. They get your money for 5 (or 6 or 7) years-you might forget to collect when the time comes-if you trade in before that, you can submit for a prorated amount. Sneaky.

Replying to: mitzij (Jul 13, 2009 12:13 pm) Mitzij is correct. Remember these companies make money when you don't collect your refund. They often make you jump through hoops to collect your refund. It also adds about 20-40% to the price of the warranty. We currently do not offer it on our website for those reasons.
#2951 of 3107 when do the extended warranties start... by dpearman2007 Jul 21, 2009 (5:20 pm)
Hello all! I will be purchasing my first "almost new car" from a dealership in about a month, I'm hoping it will be an '06 Civic. Anyway, one of the things I've been attempting to research is an EW. Quick question, I've seen a bunch of quotes on here:   5yrs/ 60k (D56) - $435.00 5yrs/ 80k (D58) - $600.00 5yrs/ 100k (D50) - $715.00 6yrs/ 80k (D68) - $660.00 6yrs/ 100k (D60) - $860.00 6yrs/ 120k (D62) - $965.00 7yrs/ 80k (D78) - $750.00  for example, I was just wondering when do these actually kick in? I'm looking at an '06 with 83000 miles, and I'm thinking it might not be a bad idea to get an EW. Thanks again,   Devin Replies to this message: jet10000 (Jul 22, 2009 7:53 am) jik (Jul 29, 2009 12:44 pm) gardinerr (Jul 29, 2009 12:50 pm)

Replying to: dpearman2007 (Jul 21, 2009 5:20 pm) I was just wondering when do these actually kick in?   The quotes you see can be purchased for cars that have not reached 6,000 miles yet. They have another set of quotes for cars that have not gone over 36,000 miles. If the car you're looking at has 83,000 miles, you're probably not going to be able to buy a standard Honda Care for that. The only option is if you buy it from a private owner who did purchase a Honda Care on the car already. He can transfer the remaining amount of time on the Honda Care to you by paying a $50 transfer fee. Replies to this message: jik (Jul 29, 2009 12:44 pm) gardinerr (Jul 29, 2009 12:50 pm)
#2953 of 3107 Thanks by jungle_cat Jul 26, 2009 (11:02 pm)
I bought a 2010 Pilot Touring w/NAV and RES and I bought an extended warranty. And I made a mistake. The one I bought was lousy. I am looking uper the paperwork tomorrow to see what type of warranty I purchased but I will cancel it and get the 7 year/120k mile Honda Care Warranty for the same price I paid for the 5 year/50,000 mile warranty. I just want to thank everyone; this site is so informative and I really appreciate everyone's contribution.   JC

Replying to: jet10000 (Jul 22, 2009 7:53 am) So will it be better to wait getting EW around 6000 miles. Its effective from date purchased and cost the same for 0 miles or 6000 miles ? Replies to this message: gardinerr (Jul 29, 2009 12:50 pm)
