| I recently replaced the underhood fuse/relay panel in my 2003 Accord EX to correct the light dimming problem created by a failing ELD, but now my blower for heat and a/c stays on after ignition is off. It seems like a relay issue, but I can't find the location of that relay. Any help? | |

Replying to: elroy5 (Jan 17, 2009 4:28 pm) I will be taking in the Accord for certain 120k and below services (it's now at 126k+ miles - I've discussed these services recently on this thread and will give an update on where I am with everything soon to help others who are in the same boat as me). I'll show them this and see what they say, but I guess it's exclusive to the 6 cylinder? maybe there's something for the 4 cylinder too?

I just bought a 2006 Honda Accord EX with 16000 miles. The dealer gave me quote for an extended warranty of $1300 for 6 years and 84K miles. Personally I think the quote was a bit high, but I also thinking I wasn't sure if I wanted an extended warranty anyway. Should I spend $1000 for an extended warranty with a vehicle such as this? Thanks in advance.

Replying to: rascal7298 (Jan 18, 2009 5:37 pm) You are basically going to be paying for a warranty that will last you until you hit 100K on the odemeter. Most people drive more miles before the yearly deadline. Personally, I wouldn't pay for an extended warranty on a Honda or Toyota for that matter. If you can wait, you should wait until the end of the factory warranty to get an extension if that is what you desire. I have just under 60K on my 07 EX I4 Sedan Manual. It still runs and operates like the day I got it with 7 miles on it. Maybe the carpets a little worn and have a few scratches around the ignition from my keys, but that's it. Good luck on your decision. I also have confidence in the high level of maintenance I perform to keep my car operating smoothly. If you want the piece of mind up until 100K that you have to decide what that piece of mind is worth to you. Obviously, anything could happen, hence the ability for warranties. I used to work for a luxury used cxar dealer. We had the abil;ity to sell warranties. If I remeber correctly Honda warranties only cost us around $500 dollars. So if I could sell one for $1,300 I would be making $800 pure profit on you. I would offer them $600. If they say they can't tell them you are not willing to pay that much for a warranty that will probably never get used, it is a Honda after all. ( I am sure one of their selling points to you on it was reliability anyway.) Good luck whatever you. Just remember if you know you could pay cash for the warranty then you should use that to your advantage by not feeling pressured to buy it now. Then try and talk them down, and if they keep trying to get you to pay more tell them what I mentioned. If the sales person knows they can make an extra $100 they will at least do that. just don't let them bully you or try and hard close you. You can always buy the extension later. |

The factory warranty expires in the middle. of February and I would be paying cash...just like the car itself. I'll do some shoping around but unless a great deal presents itself I will probably not get it.
