Extended Warranty Shopping Help
It's my understanding (from this board) that you can buy the extended warranty from any dealer in the country. Is this true? Has anyone done this? Do you get something when you purchase the warranty? I am considering doing this as I plan on keeping the car for a long time. What kind of prices have you been getting? I got the car in August of 2000 and have about 19,600 miles. Thanks in advance!

You can not only get an extended warranty from any dealer, you can also purchase one from places like credit unions, etc. There is some talk about Acura dealer purchased being better than buying from someplace else (including the web), but since I don't have either I can't add anything to that. YMMV

I'm consdering the same thing. I started a thread on this a week ago. Some have paid $1000 for 5 years. I called a local dealer and was quoted $1200 and during the conversation he lowered it to $1100. I've heard bad things about the non- Acura warranties. Sometimes they don't pay when they should. It's bassically an insurance policy.
Let me know if you get some quotes.

When I purchased my '02, the dealer quoted $1300 for an extended. I have not purchased one yet. On past extended warranties that I have purchased, the price drops if you take the option of paying a deductible. The more the deductible, the less the cost for the warranty. What always ticks me off is they promote the warranty as a 5yr 75K mile (or whatever) warranty and what you are really paying for is basically just another two years of coverage.

Check out: www.acurawarranty.com Their prices seem to be very fair, and there is no sales tax on it unless you live in New Jersey.
