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! |

I am interested in purchasing a honda care extended warranty. The dealer showed me a paper that Honda does not accept any third party warranties. They said it can only be done from a Honda dealer. Does anyone have any information as if that statement is true or not? Has anyone got a honda care warranty through Bernardi?

| The Bernardi site says if you live in California you can noy buy it on line. I know it used to be true for Florida but CA id news to me. Anyone has any info on this? | |

I wasn't a believer in the extended warranty (ours was to 100,000) until we replaced a transmission at 102,000. Because of the lawsuit from several years ago, our Pilot's warranty was extended 5% to 105,000. Honda replaced the transmission and it saved us $2800! In this case the warranty was well worth it.

The language of 'no internet sales permitted to CA' sounds to me like it doesn't blanket other means such as mail or walking up in person if you had to. of course my advice is to NOT buy the EW in the first place.

Replying to: aspesisteve (Aug 25, 2008 8:05 am) P.S. I, too, didn't believe in buying insurance under "EW" label, but with all the new electronics and technology including VCM, navigation, etc. I thought I would sleep better knowing I have them covered for a long time for about $1000. |

I have done alot of research and have recvd reports from Consumer Reports ,have read their magazines on 2008 and 2009, Car guide magazine and have gone on web sites such as Edmunds.com for the past three weeks. They all say that if you select a car that has a high reliability rating such as a Honda Civic/Accord and a Toyota Camry there is no need to purchase an extended warranty. On avg the consumer loses $ 300 by purchasing an EW. On an EW, they also said to look out for, that when you purchase an EW, you start paying from day one but cannot use the EW ( will not go in effect) until the original factory warranty expires which for the 2008 and 2009 models is 3 yrs/36,000 miles same as Toyota. I received an Internet pricing quote for an Accord LXP for $ 19825 w/o destination. The car has 5 miles on it. Will be purchasing on Saturday. When I received the report from CR they do not list mfg and dealer invoices prices for certain items like wheel locks or etc. But when I received a report for the Toyota, CR listed each option with a mfg/dealer invoice on it such as VSC. When I was looking at a Toyota Camry LE thay told me VSC (not included) would be $ 650. I said no, the invoice is $ 520. Then they know that I did my homework. CR also says that if you want an EW, buy it separetly later on from other sources which I have been reading as bernardiwarranty.com or myhondawarranty.com. Let me know what you think.
