#2986 of 3115 Difference between HondaCare and Fidelity by pbjellytime Aug 11, 2009 (1:35 pm)
Replying to: dwynne (May 19, 2005 7:06 am) Ok,   I haggled 09 Civic LX for 10,211 after 2 rebates (a Texas one) and $50 tint. Now, I was buying for a friend of mine. He came in and signed the papers but bought the Fidelity warranty 7 years or 100k miles for $1400. He also got a windshield repair warranty for "free" on top of that.   Did he get screwed? What's the difference between HondaCare and Fidelity? Because all I hear about is HondaCare NOT Fidelity.   I know Fidelity you pay a $100 deductible every time and it covers everything except wear/tear.

Replying to: pbjellytime (Aug 11, 2009 1:35 pm) The difference is that Fidelity is under investigation (please read some of the previous posts about warranties and the HONDA warranty is backed by HONDA)!!! You better get a refund fast and get the HONDA Warranty!!!

Replying to: tidester (Aug 06, 2009 9:45 pm) The official HONDA CARE warranty will NOT refund any premiums paid if you don't use it. The (questionable) Fidelity-backed EW will refund your premium, minus a $50 admin fee. In my book, that is not worth the much higher cost. Most people will use a warranty of some sort during the life of the car. Even Hondas aren't built without some sort of problem down the line. Replies to this message: tidester (Aug 12, 2009 8:46 am)

#2990 of 3115 Extended Warranty by djsf1 Aug 12, 2009 (7:15 pm)
I checked Saccucci website and their online response was "Do you have another address?" I see another blogger used an out of CA address....is there any issue with this? Is Anderson Honda still the cheapest dealer in CA for the warranty?
#2991 of 3115 Latest you can get ext.warranty by bigbutr Aug 14, 2009 (7:02 am)
The lease on my 08 LX-P is up in a year and I'm thinking that I'll probably just buy it since the payoff $14,200 seems to be a pretty good deal considering what older models are selling for.   I am well under my mileage, having used just 16,000 of my 36,000 available, so I should still be under factory warranty when the lease ends. Can you still purchase a Hondacare policy at that point? If you can, what should I expect to pay, the caveat being I live in Florida where you have to purchase it here and not out of state.   Thanks Replies to this message: jet10000 (Aug 14, 2009 7:31 am) christine118 (Aug 21, 2009 6:50 pm) RoBoRaT (Aug 21, 2009 8:30 pm) jet10000 (Aug 22, 2009 3:19 pm) and 2 more...

Replying to: bigbutr (Aug 14, 2009 7:02 am) I am well under my mileage, having used just 16,000 of my 36,000 available, so I should still be under factory warranty when the lease ends. Can you still purchase a Hondacare policy at that point?   Even though you can't buy from an out of state dealer, you can see the terms of honda care that are still offered for a vehicle of your year and mileage on myhondawarranty.com.   They sell a $0 deductible honda care for 5 years and 84,000 miles. Now keep in mind this is 5 years from time of purchase and and additional 84,000 miles on top of your 16,000 miles. They also offer five plans with a $100 deductible. Now Florida dealers are going to be much higher than myhondawarranty, but at least you can select a term that you want before you call for a quote.

#2993 of 3115 Help! by christine118 Aug 21, 2009 (6:50 pm)
Replying to: jet10000 (Aug 14, 2009 7:31 am) Hi, I'm picking up my new Honda Civic LX on Monday. I said no to the extended warranty for now because it was going to be over $1200, and that was with a credit applied to it. The $1200 was for 6 years/60k miles (I think that was the mileage). On the myhondawarranty.com page, I can get 6 years/100k miles for around $500 BUT I mentioned this to the finance person, and she said that that's in litigation and those warranties aren't valid. Is this true? I don't know what to do. More than $1200 is a lot to spend when it does come with a 3 year basic warranty. I'm just confused about whether I should get a warranty, and if I do get it, where do I get it?

I would not get it. They are wanting too much.

Replying to: christine118 (Aug 21, 2009 6:50 pm) The dealer is trying to be the stealer, and get your money. You can still buy honda care warranty online and the ones from the website you mentioned are valid. I got mine online for $1000 less than the stealers and I have the contract and card to prove it. The online honda care warranty sellers will not sell to you if you are a resident of Florida or California though. I say have your dealer match the online (or about $100 close to it) price if you are still squimish on buying online.
