The 2006 version is more complicate than the 2003...also, it's the first year of the new version...things are not always ironed out as they may have been by 2003 which was not a new year for that iteneration.
wouldnt the 12/12 warranty already have expired since my ody is a 2004 with 31k miles??? The plans they are offering must count years from the date the EW is purchased and mileage counted from the odo you disclose when EW is purchased. Ideally mileage and year count would begin when 3yr/36k warranty runs out....
Is that the contract you signed with the dealer or the one mailed to you by Honda? If it's the dealer's purchase agreement, it just means you couldn't repurchase it from them. I remember post on this thread mentioning that they were able to cancel the triple-priced HondaCare from the dealer and repurchase online much cheaper. I'm not quite sure though, hope someone that's done that replies.
You may also try and call Honda Financial directly and get it from the source.

so back i go to saccucci's site with the better prices. start playing with different actual mileage scenarios....end result the EW purchase price doesnt change so you dont want to buy it until the 11th hour before your new car 3yr/36k warranty is about to run. that way the EW runs to earlier of 71,999 miles (35,999+ 36k) or EW purchase date (could be orig purchase + 2.99 yrs) + 3 yrs.
so looks like i will be waiting to sign up online for my EW until my ody is getting real close to 36k....
But wait. which EW to buy.
with $100 deductible -
12mos/12k costs $.044 per mile
24/24 costs $.028 per mile
36/36 costs $.023 per mile
48/48 costs $.020 per mile
60/60 costs $.02075 per mile
60/84 costs $.014 per mile
at least they priced them such that the incremental cost per mile goes down the more you extend so they are properly encouraging you to buy a longer warranty (it really is a better deal) with the one exception being the 60/60.
But wait they offer $0 deductible plans too. but here the pricing is screwed up....they offer a 60mos/84k for only $100 more than the 60/84 $100 deductible plan - so if you make one claim during the EW you recover the added upfront cost - clearly they screwed this one up. you would have to be an idiot not to pony up the c note and go zero deductible. who among us would buy an EW and not expect at least one + visits over the next 5 years and 84k miles!!
Wait! another glitch. they priced the 48/48 zero deductible higher than the 60/84k zero deductible....what are they doing???? BTW, the 60/60 zero deductible is out of whack too...
...sigh. they really are making this hard. and confusing.
one last thought...perhaps the website is wrong. or perhaps certain of these warranties are on special through honda and the site omits that fact. or perhaps there just is. no rhyme or reason....
can anyone shed some light?
i want to wait til i get close to 36k to buy, but geez what if these prices are specials (the 60/84 zero deductible is a pretty good deal considering i can drive a total of 119,999 miles under warranty or for 8 years from when new).
I would try www.5starwarranty.com, They do require that you have 30 day and 1,000 miles remaining on the factory warranty for longer coverage terms. They also only sell a bumper to bumper plan. Great BBB report and large underwriting insurance company.
I am in NM. I just get quote for AWD EXL /w RES,with tinting and destination at $28900 in dealer Earnhardt, AZ.
Is this good deal
After discuss in the detail, I was told, by AZ law, they have to drive 2hour with me to the bord of CA. after get notarization there and pay $200 extra fee, then give me key and let me drive back to AZ. Is this true? too much trouble
anyone have such experience when buy out state?
thanks for any input
I would only purchase an extended warranty from the manufacturer of the vehicle. With a Honda Extended Warranty, you can use it at any Honda Dealer. This could be a BIG problem with "aftermarket extended warranties"!----Best regards. -----Dwayne
That's why I'm considering an extended warranty for my 06 Civic.
If you are having trouble getting information on this warranty company, this is telling you something about this company. "LISTEN" to the little voice! ---- Look for another vehicle, with a HONDA Factory extended warranty. Just my opinion. Best regards. ---- Dwayne.
Dealer has 2/24k for $1000.00 with $100.00 deductible.
Are there a better deals for the same coverage? I understand that for 2003 there is no 'zero' deductable at this point.
$1k is steep. There are dealers linked throughout this discussion that are cheaper.
'11 GMC Sierra 1500; '08 Charger R/T Daytona; '67 Coronet R/T; '13 Fiat 500c; '20 S90 T6; '22 MB Sprinter 2500 4x4 diesel; '97 Suzuki R Wagon; '96 Opel Astra; '08 Maser QP; '11 Mini Cooper S
Yet, under the 'Key Terms' section it states:
Factory Warranty repair service means a repair by YOUR DEALER of YOUR VEHICLE under the FACTORY WARRANTY.
Do...the dealer of my particular vehicle?? I may move half way across the country next year...does thism ean that I have to come back to the dealer I bought the car from??
Also, the payment...say the $830 for 96 Mo or 100k. Is this a one time payment of $62.25 a month...or is it $830 every year??
This is my first Honda vehichle purchase and I am leaning toward buying the extended warranty because of my previous GM ownership experiences. But again, this is a Honda. Nevertheles, I am curious about Honda Care warranty prices and the fact it is good at any dealership across America.
It's a one-time payment of $830. Think of it as them taking your money, they will dole it back out to you as you need it for repairs.
So either way - for repairs during the factory warranty or later on an extended warranty, I can go to the nearest dealership, should I move?
I haven't got back to hondawarranty.com but do you know if you can either pay in one lump sum for the extension or monthly?
I think the payment plan is usually used if you buy your vehicle at the same time you buy the plan. Some places might let you make payments, you'll need to check out the website.
Curry Honda in Mass.: $ 845 (less $75 if bought tomorrow)
Saccucci Honda in RI: $ 625
JayHonda in OH: $ 700
College Hills Honda(OH):$ 700

Can I get extended warranty now? Will I get one? Any issues?
Thanks for the help,
Jaya
Bernardi Honda agreed to lower their price by $25 as well since they did not offer a gift certificate in their warranty package. So their price would have been $684.
I decided to go with Saccucci because of the 12 month interest free payment plan and online application. Hope this information is helpful.
When I read our balance on the contract he told me that Finance offered him $1900 for it first and because they lowered the price for more than $400 off he signed up for EW, and guy told him he could cancel it within 60day period.
After getting EW he was told that they(dealership) would lower our APR by .24% less because he purchased EW from them.
Now my husband called them to cancel the EW but the finance guy said he gave him a discounted .24% APR finance from the bank for 5 yrs.My husband said its okey if you take off the discount .24% and go back to the original APR. we know its only a $110 difference to our loan amt.
The finance guy said they cant change the APR anymore and he did that in good faith.We want to cancel it but how?The guy even told my husband that we got our car and save thousands of dollars and below invoice price which is true but is that our fault?and finance guy told him to think about it first and dont believe whatever we have read that theres cheaper thant that.It seems like if we cancelled this we look like bad guys here?because of that APR discount.
Im planning to just pay the whole balance.I believe I can get my cancellation form from hondacare customer sevice? and I dont have to go and see this dealers again?Am I thinking right?
If I dont pay the total balance, is it true that I have to go to the dealer and asked them to cancel it?We called them twice to cancel it and all they say is think about it..and giving us this whole stories/situation about APR thing.
So guys what do you think?Thanks in advance!Anything advice, opinions etc vey much appreciated!
EW from collegehisshonda is only $700 and we paid $1495.
Hello I just wanted to tell everyone that HONDA really backs up their product.
I just had the trans replaced a power door-lock (slider driver) and replaced the ignition interlock on a van that is OVER 7 years old and has almost 80,000 miles on the odo. No hassle, no BS just yes sir we will repair this under Honda's warranty service. I never bought an extended warranty either. I will drive nothing but Hondas from now on and I will most likely buy them at Norm Reeves in Cerritos SoCal!!!!
Sidenote, - I had a lincoln continental, blew the trans at 72K, the motor at 75K and the suspension at 80Kmls. Ford told me to go fly a kite every time! Guess what? -- I dissuaded at least three peoples from buying a ford product, but have swayed at least six peoples to buy Hondas. I have three Hondas: a '91 Accord, a '99 Odyssey, and an '05 CR-V...
And I really want to add an Element to the list... :-)
Thank you much!!!!

tidester, host
When my in-laws suffered with a mercury sable I made them park at the curb, now they own an '06 Accord EX and are welcommed to park up in my driveway along with my three HONDAs, a '91Accord, a '99 Ody, and an '05 CR-V. Car live is bliss! :-)
1. 6 years or 100,000 miles
2. Fully covered including paint and interior fabric
3. Exterior and Interior treatment
4. Lo-Jack and Upgraded Alarm (goes off if you break a window)
I may be slighly off on some of the specs, but this is the basic package. The cost was about $50 a month for 66 months.
I am also considering singing up for MBI insurance with Geico which is only $5 a month and appears to be the equivalent of a bumper to bumper warrant for 7 years or 100,000 miles. The catch here is that Geico is about $50 bucks more a month than Amica, an insurance company that I will switch to if I don't get MBI.
Is there any reason to go with the dealer warranty package?
What is the name of the service contract company? I've not seen any that cover paint or upholstery. Is this a 'paint and fabric protection' plan, or a complete service contract?
MBI= mechanical breakdown insurance-it's a far cry from a bumper to bumper warranty.
Read the contracts completely and compare-don't skim the brochures and make a decision. There's a reason Geico is so cheap.
One other thing, rarely mentioned, is: make sure the time/mileage limits fit your driving style. I don't drive 30k miles in 6 years, so a 6/100 plan would be excessive. If you drive 30k in one year, the 6/100 expires in just over 3 years.
