| is it worth getting a extend warranty 7/100 for $900 alot of my friends have stated that it's just not worth paying for it, because it's a honda and one will rarely use it, please help | |
| I took delivery of my 2003 Oddy Ex-L last week and intended to wait to get warranty recalling references to out-of-state offerings in the Oddy Prices Paid board earlier last year. I was a bit frazzled by the time we got to the warranty discussion and let him add it for $982. About $80 too much, but I bookmarked the Prices Paid discussion and forgot to even check these other spots as purchase time came. Due to potential sliding door problems, I thought it would be a good gamble to have coverage. Even getting regular window motors replaced in old sedans ran into money over time. Another Mom in my kids preschool got the Oddy last April. Transmission shot this October. Oddy at dealer for 30 days getting parts and repairs. Good car, but bad things can happen and dealer service ain't cheap. With 2 small boys that will grow with this car, I like the idea of having the investment protected. | |

| Just received an email from a local dealer and for a 7yr/100,000 bumper to bumper warranty he quoted $775. LOVE IT!!!!! Plus he's going to give me a rate of 3.74% and an EX model for $25,600. I'm doing the happy dance. | |
| I found Warranty Gold.com to be considerably less expensive than Honda Care Warranty for any given plan and I'm wondering if anyone in this forum has had any experience with the company. The Better Business Bureau site has no problems with this company, which is based out of Austin, TX. Anyone? | |

I just paid $279 for a 10yr/100K miles Bumper to Bumper warranty from 1sourceautowarranty.com for my 2003 Odyssey EX-Leather. It covers the engine, transmission, A/C, Brakes, Radiator, Emission, and some other things. This is for a brand new Odyssey. If I had waited for my Odyssey to reach 3 years or 36,000 miles, the same warranty would be about $900. The only things it does not cover is the high-tech stuff like Navigation, DVD RES, Traction control, Airbags, Anti-lock brakes, power sliding doors. |

Hi, Andrew, How did you get such low quote? I went to the web site and for a 10 year/100K miles warranty with $0 deductible, it's $1199 for me in CA. I know it's different cost by state, but the gap seems extreme to me. |

Well, the $0 deductible was $579 for 10Y/100K and the $200 deductible was $279 for 10Y/100K with the Emerald-100 Plan. The Diamond 100 Plan (which covers just about everything) with $0 deductible for me was $899 (after $100 discount). I would have gone with the $899, but my wife insists that nothing will go wrong with the Odyssey and she initially said "No Way" to it until I told her about the $279 one. Basically, the plan I enrolled in will cover engine, transmission, and A/C (compressor, drain valve, etc.) which is what I worry about since these things will cost over $1,000 to repair or replace. I wonder what else can cost over $1,000 to repair? Actually the usual price was $379 and $679 (Emerald 100), but the Odyssey (and Sienna) just got the price discount (price cut due to reliability) of $100 which makes it now $279 and $579. And right now you should also get free Titanium Package (road side assistant, windshield dents, etc.) and Emissions Plan at no extra charge. Yeah, I think the post says the Honda Care Warranty (7Y/100K)is around $750-800, isn't it? So no way would I get anything above that! But I guess the only good thing with 1sourceautowarranty is the 10 years part, which will benefit me more since I will not be driving the Odyssey every day so I am more concerned with the years than the milleage. yeah, I cannot believe the price difference between California and Oklahoma. |

Andrew, Thanks for the info. I went back to the web site and for your package that you mentioned, it's $200 more here in CA. Amazing how warranty costs can vary so much by state. I haven't bought the Ody yet, still doing price comparison, but just was doing some prelim work on the warranty as I'm sure the local dealer will try to sell me one, so it's better to know ahead of time what third party warranty would cost. |

| well, I got the ex-dvd for 28,200. Now he wants to add 7/100,000 warranty for 1395. It started at 1795. Also, the interest rate started at 5.7 and now all of the sudden got to 4.24. I see others saying 700-900, though. | |
