Our finance officer NEVER told us ...
 
Though it may be desirable, the finance officer is not going take the time to walk you through every detail of the contract. And that makes for a very good reason to carefully read any contract before signing it.
 
FWIW, I would have had qualms about signing that one myself with all the exclusions and exceptions - but that's just me.

On of the reasons you have forums like the edmunds forum is that you can ask questions and get opinions before you make a decision.

Can I cancel my Mfr Extended Warranty? by andylaksh1

Hello all,
I bought my Pilot VP 4WD about a week ago from Planet Honda, Matteson, IL. Since I didn't do enough of researching (pls. don't look at me like that), I bought the extended warranty from them (6yr, 100K mile, Platinum coverage) for a whopping $1689.00 . I now see that I could have got an equal coverage online for a way better price. Now, what are my options here? (do I have any??)
 
1. Can I cancel it without any major issues? Have anyone done this before?
2. If they offer to re-negotiate/match price, is Saccucci Honda's price is the best one in terms of price and coverage?
3. The warranty I got from them doesn't read Honda Care. The paperwork has something like 'The Mechanic' printed on top, and I don't see Honda Care anywhere.
Because of that, would there be a problem for me to get the price match.
 
I'd really appreciate any comments/suggestions/directions. Thanks all.

Ofcourse you should be able to ret5urn the warranty with in 30 days. don't waste your time call the dealer and return it. 8 years 120K miles were sold at $1200 online.
Good luck

Your Honda Care warranty package clearly says Honda Care on it and comes with the window stickers for the 1-800-. Dealers always try to sell third party warranties as it is more profitable for them. Make sure you contact Honda care and confirm with your policy/vin number that you have the correct warranty.

Hi Andy, we are in the same boat. Bought a new Civic on Saturday and got the hard sell on the EW. I was sitting there shaking my head NO (just because I don't trust finance guys) and my husband said yes to the 6 yr/100 k mile warranty. He signed it, I wouldn't. We get home and see it is NOT Hondacare, and in fact the sales guy switched the deductible on us because he lowered the price to $1400. But there is a cancellation policy, he is going back today to cancel it. We hope they will rewrite the purchase order to reflect that and not say we have to wait for a check from this unknown company. I doubt it will include the $194.50 "dealer transfer service charge" they included at the last second without mentioning it.
 
Then all we have to do is wait to see if we get the 2.5% financing from Honda. They haven't submitted yet and I have this paranoid feeling that they won't, and will then just say we didn't qualify and they get to finance us at 10% or some such. We will go to our credit union then, but they don't know that.
 
Can you tell that I am soured on this dealer already? Nice car, but what a bunch of liars. It started with the salesman quoting me the Costco price that was $200 more than another dealer had already told me. We went to this dealer because they had the color my daughter wanted.

Honda Warranty is available online. I bought it for a pilot for 8 years 120k for $1200 6 months ago. It is a RI based Dealer
 
Dealers warranties are local warranties as well as it will be very difficult to get the customer service on saturdays when you take the car to the dealer
 
Good luck on returning it
 
What is dealer transfer servive? never heard of it. Though I bought and participated in a total a dozen car purchases

Hello
I am in the process of pruchasing a new Pilot and was told by my insurance company (Geico) that in the insurance rate I was quoted, I am covered for 7 years/100,000 miles coverage for a new car. Has anyone heard of this before?
 
Thanks

Good lord is everyone trying to push teh cost to the other party?
By the way check if this is a state specific thing?
I have a pilot and covered for 8 years and 120 K from Honda Care but no one asked about it yet and I bought it few months later than the purchase of the vehicle.
 
may be most of you are aware already, I learned recently that if you don't take care of the monitoring systems warning, in case of an accident or insurance claim they can blame you for that. For example low tire pressure and you get in to an accident they can claim that low pressure contributed to loss of control and you are responsible for it. So these systems can work against you in certain circumstances, watch out!
