Hello all! I just traded my 06 TSX Navi for an 07 NBP TL Type S AT and love it! The only remorse I have is that I purchased an extended warranty from the dealer (first time ever on my part...I do put mucho miles on da ridez!) Did I do the right thing from a cost perspective...5 years/100K extended warranty for $1010 in exchange for knocking another 1% off my 5 year financing (my feeble negotiating attempt) down to 3.85% apr. Is this a good price? Thanks to all...much luv!

 

That sounds like a good price to me. I didn't buy one for my TL, but I purchased the same coverage for my previous car (2004 Accord) and it also cost about $1,000.

The base coverage on the Acura is longer so you lose a little there, but the parts cost more than the Honda so I expect that on balance you did ok.

Enjoy your new car.

 

sounds like a good deal imho

 

Well here are the lowest prices found so far on Extended Warranties...http://www.hondawarrantyinfo.com/acura/quote.php

(these are the prices I know of the top of my head)...you can get a 7yr/100k for $965 and a 8yr/120k for $1415

 

I think the question is would you go 100k in 5 years? I personally woudlnt but if you would then I say then your fine.

 

welcome and it seem like a good deal

 

...thanks for all the responses! I guess I'll keep the extended warranty > btw it is a zero deductable deal as well. Thought I did good on the car deal as well as the price was $34,619 plus sales tax...$50 doc fee and 60 mo financing @ 3.85% apr. I am thoroughly enjoying this fine piece of automotive machinery. Thanks again!

 

Oops (clarification)...$34,619 was for the Type S...the $1,010 extended warranty I cut a check for out of pocket!

 

That's below invoice price... how did you manage that?

 

WOW! The internet manager said it was below invoice and I thought he was BS'in me...I thought it was right at invoice. It took 3 hours of negotiation in person to "make it happen." I thought they were going to get me on the doc fee...when that didn't happen, I thought I may have taken it ugly on the extended warranty (reason for the buyers remorse post- I have a 30 day opt out on the xtended warranty)...but I really love the Type S and knew I was in it for fairly cheap money (3.85% apr). For this price, I did not get any all weather mats, truck mat, etc thrown in and was treated with zero respect from their GM and finance director, but did get a very, very nice tint job!

 

The dealer would be more than happy to give you the TL-S for below invoice if they reamed you for your trade in. They will either make the money on the new car or the TSX.

 

Oh yeah... forgot about that fact...

 

Yeah...only got $24K trade in for my 06 TSX Navi w/17K miles...so that may be the differential. BUT...I got them to honor the sales price of the Type S WITHOUT the TSX in play if I wanted, but wanted the additional sales tax savings...I am sure the dealer made money...The TSX sits on their Certified lot for $26.9K!!
