That is an interesting approach, if it works. I bought EW for both my Pilot and Accord on line, the last one right before it was banned. I was very disappointed to see that they added CA to the list, but for future reference, if anyone knows how to get around it I would be interested in learning.
 
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.

I just bought a 2008 Honda CRV and was pressured into buying the Honda Care 84 months/100,000 miles EW plan for $1995.00. After repeatedly saying "No", the finance manager kept lowering the price until he finally got to $1500. I still said "No" and he said that was the best he could do. My wife was there and felt I was making a mistake, so she told me to offer him $1400, which I did. He accepted. He also sold us the 60 months/60,000 miles "Value Care Plan" for $325.00 that gives us free oil changes and tire rotations every 5,000 miles until we reach the end of the term. After seeing that the same 84/100,000 Honda Care plan is for sale at Bernardi and MyHonda Warranty for $785.00, I feel like I got suckered. I cannot find any pricing on the VCP, so I don't know how I did there. Should I get a refund (I'm 2 weeks into the 30 day refund right now) and buy it from one of those other places? If I do, will this dealer give me a hard time when I bring my car in for service? And should I keep the VCP, or did I get suckered there, too? Any advice will be appreciated.

I was just offered the same warranty for a 2009 Honda Civic for $695, and we didn't even talk about a discount because I said I wasn't interested. So I would request a refund if I were you.

Dealer said the online extended warranty places aren't allowed anymore. I don't believe them. Does Honda prohibit people from buying warranties on line?
Thanks!

How do they know that your bought it online?
 
Besides it is Honda Financial services who gives the warranty and not your dealer so you can always call HOnda Financial and confirm your coverage.

You may want to check into it but I believe they refund period on the EW from honda is 2 months, not one. I would get a refund and buy it online, one caveat is that if you live in CA or FL the online places won't sell you one! The other plan is also of no value to me. That is just a way for the dealer to get you into the service department and mid-way through you'll probably be told that you need new tires!. Most tire shops offer free rotation anyhow and I am not sure if your plan includes balance but you can get that at Costco or Sam's for a total of $15 or so (all wheels), just figure how many times you'll need to do that during the term of the plan and you'll see you are probably better off without it. Sorry for a late reply it may be too late to ask for a refund on the plan but I am almost positive that the EW refund period is 2 months.

You guys should also call your congressmen and ask them why they sold out to the car dealership lobby and made a law that prevents buying an extended Honda care warranty from out of state !

I just bought mine from out of state. Is it just your state or did I get robbed?
