Fidelity Warranty vs Acura Care?
We took delivery of our black RDX today. It's beautiful.
Dealer's finance guy wanted to sell us a fidelity extended warranty contract, $2,759 covers 10 years 100,000 miles. Googled online, but most people have had bad experience dealing with Fidelity Warranty.
I heard people say manufacture backed warranty plan like Acura Care is much better, but this is our first Acura and I've no idea what it is. Tried to call dealer for Acura Care information, but didn't get through. However, I do see online offer of Acura Care by dealers like Curry Acura. I've seen good reviews from this forum about Curry Acura. Is it a good idea to buy it online?
Anybody bought extended warranty service? What is your opinion?

As reliable as Acura's are I still wonder why? Take the money go invest it in a high yield investment and see if you even deplete it for thing that would be covered by the warranty. It is important to read the exclusions. I bought on on my A6 and cancelled it right away once I read the exclusions. Does Acura cover the LED headlights? My guess is no as they will be excluded under lighting and bulbs. I know so many people that drive their Acura's for 10 years and upwards of 200K miles and rock solid, typical oil, fluids, suspension wear items.

The best warranty is "no warranty", all the statistical odds say its not worth it. Acura/Honda are pretty reliable.
But if you must buy warranty, it should only be Acura warranty, otherwise its a total waste of money. I am surprised certified Acura dealer would even offer non Acura warranty. Something is shady going on.

Most likely just a matter of the dealer makes more money on a third party version. That or some third party offer longer terms and the dealer feels it may be more attractive to the customer.

Hyannis Honda / Acura has the best prices that I could find but do your research. GEICO is a good program but has a $250 deductible. After 3-4 services, you may be better off with the genuine Acura care plan.

If you factor in the fact that you are paying now for something you won't use for several years until after the factory warranty expires, and that you may not keep the car as long as you think (tired of it, accident, etc), it just didn't make sense to me to get the extended warranty.
