My cl-s is about 6 mos. old with 10,000 miles and I am thinking of getting a acura extended warranty-
7yr/100,000. The dealer keyes acura quoted me 1295 with no deductable. Went to the acurawarranty.com website and their prices are similar. Are there any other alternatives to check pricing without going to a different 3rd party warrenty? Have heard of bad expierences with them.

I got the 7yr/100K extended from Keyes for my CLS and paid about $1200.

YMMV

i believe you can buy your extended warranty from any acura dealer, just call some up and compare prices

This is what Warrantydirect.com quoted me (Colorado), I picked mileage slightly before Acura warranty expires. Does anyone have any experance with this outfit? Note: years is from the date you get their warranty, mileage is what the odometer says. Diamond is bumper to bumper and Platinum is drivetrain.

sorry, no extended warranty is ever as good as the mfg, i tried to find if they cover diagnosis, most will not, also there is usually a cap on labor rates, can't find that either on there site,

you can take my advice i work at a dealer, and i have to deal with these non mfg extended warranties, believe me TAKE THE ACURA PLAN

Good advice.

Thanks for the feedback. I think I will get the dealer extended warranty. It is worth it to me for a couple hundred bucksas apposed to the alternative-cheaper part or labor. Will probably get it by the end of the week. One blown tranny or abs can ruin your day.

Does anyone remember the “Rusty Jones” LIFETIME rust prevention warranty from the early eighties ?????

Cee eL eS

does it matter when u get the extended warranty? is it cheaper to get it sooner or it doesnt matter, as long as you get it b4 the standard warranty runs out?

KavexTrax

Yea thats a good question.
I think thats why I got it for $1K when i got the car and
efx was offered $1295

CO-CL-S

Add to the question; Does it make any differance what dealer you get it from? I wouldn't think so. Maybe some dealer out there would like to make us an offer (Wayne?).

shop around, you can get the acura service contract from any dealer, do a search email them, (i had a customer when i worked the oldsmobile/cadillac service desk that always bought his cars from the dealer i worked at, but bought the general motors protection plan from a dealer in tx because it was cheaper)

Went to the dealer today and bought a extended warranty. It is 7yr/100,000 with zero deductable for 1170, a little cheaper than quoted at keyes acura.
The finance guy started higher on the price, it was a different guy than I spoke to on the phone. Anyway I brought a printout of the price breakdown from acurawarranty.com. At this point he walked away with the paper for a minute and gave me the price since I bought the car there like it was a good deal.
I don't know if it was a good deal but probably not that bad.
Also I was told that after the car is over the 1yr/12,000 mark the price goes up. Also am not positive why. Anyway that was my experience.

glad you got the acura warranty, just think one repair can pay for it
