Instead of spending ~$1500 on an extended warranty, self-insure! As the original warranty is 4 year/50k miles, take the $$$ and instead of buying the warranty, conservatively invest (CD, T-bills, Money Markets et. al.) it for the duration of the original warranty. If after the warranty expires you do not need any expensive repairs, you still have YOUR money + interest/dividends (e.g. invest for 4 years  5%/yr you'll have ~1825!!! still, in YOUR possesion!). If, per chance, there is a pricey failure, you still have YOUR money + interest/dividends to pay for the repair. I would have to believe that, espacially for Honda/Toyota products, that the odds are severely stacked in the house's favor re: extended warranties. I recently owned a first model year Chrysler product, odds would seem to be in favor of an expensive out of warranty repair? I kept the 300M for 2.5 years/31,000 miles out of warranty and no failures whatsoever. I won! Used the extended warranty $$$ I kept invested as down paymemt on my '05 TL. Needless to say, no extended warranty. Having written all this, if you can't sleep at night without the extended, by all means as vicnations advises, negotiate the price! |

Has anyone had a decent experience in any Acura dealers for a TL-Type S(6 speed) in Washington(Seattle/Spokane area)? I have been trying to talk to dealers to get a price around invoice but no one seems to be really interested in it. Would appreciate if someone can give me information on their experience for dealers around this area. Thanks A |
