overall, I still got a great price on my 04 nav, which i bought 3 weeks ago, but I paid retail for the extended warranty, meaning, instead of ~800, I paid 1300 for it. its the warranty that brings it to 9yr/100k

if i cancel it, it costs $100....but whatever, it hasnt kicked in yet, anyway

im thinking that I cancel it, eat the franklin, then buy it again from cross country or whomever for 8-900, out of principle.

make sense?

your thoughts?

Even at $900 you'll net $300 by cancelling and buying a new one. What more do you need to know?

yoolykeme

oh, i guess my question is, where should i buy it from? im sure that there is more than one provider

chill_dog

One dealer is just at good as another...whoever is the cheapest...check with the major ones on eBay - A of E, Curry, LV, etc., as well as DCH-Montclair (site sponser) and any others in your area.

yoolykeme

good info

thanks bro

yoolykeme

oooh....maybe im wrong.

i paid 1300 for a 100k/year 2010 warranty, to be administered by cross country motor club

all of the hondacare sites/providers are selling it for more, and that warranty is administered by cross country too...

i guess maybe F&I guy wasnt lying to me when he said he was selling it for $100 over cost

Curry Acura sells OEM extended warranty on ebay and is a very good vendor for the price. I have another 1000 miles to decide if I want to get the extended warranty.

You bought your car used so how many miles does it have on it?
Why would it be a 2010 policy? shouldn't it be a 7 yr 100k?

yoolykeme

yea, i saw the ones on ebay. they are more expensive than the one that i got, so maybe i did get a good price for it. i was under the assumption that i could get it for about $800, which is the case, with a new car with less than 6k miles. i paid 1300 for mine, which is at least 200-300 less than any other vendor that i have come across today.

my car is an 04 w/17k miles

when it comes to the year/miles, the policy that i got covers me to year 2010/100km which is 7/100k, like you said.

Within a certain number of days with the AcuraCare warrant you can cancel it without paying any fees - are you beyond that date?

yoolykeme

well, it wasnt "acuracare"...i bought it from an audi dealer.

but its the same warranty as acuracare. it cross country that is the provider, anyway

vp911

Oh ok. Well, I say cancel it and go shop around. How about emailing up the acurazine sponser DCH Montclair.

You can shop around at various dealers, call the business/finance manager and look around. I paid $1030 for a 6yr 100k (0 deductible) on my 05' RL - that is $50 above their cost. That is probably the best you will be able to find. If I am not mistaken Honda dealers can also sell the warranty to you.

Whatever you decide to do, read the fine print for the cancellation policy. Then do some research with your state's consumer protection policy. Most purchases of this nature are covered by state policy for 'buyer's remorse', which is typically 2 weeks or a month to change ur mind for a full refund. If you purchase a policy intended for future use, this is typically the case as many bad sales practices try to pressure sell warranties and service contracts (not just cars...). So most states have consumer protection laws regardless of what they say the cancellation fee is.

yoolykeme

good point.

after doing all the digging, i see that im not gonna be able to beat the price that i bought it for. im not a fan of service contracts, but since I have an 04, its the first run of production, and i plan to drive this car into the 100k range, im sure that something electronic or something will break and i'll get $1300 worth of value for it.

just wondering when acura can offer us a 100k warrenty for free?

vp911

Never....?

Parker75

Actually, according to this page ...

http://www.hondafinancialservices.co...ning/honda.asp

The asterisk corresponding to the footnote stating Cross Country Motor Club only applies to Roadside Assistance, Concierge Emergency Service, Trip Interruption, and Trip Routing. The 100K/7yr warranty on drive train, etc is provided by Honda.

Is it different for Acura, or am I missing something?

yoolykeme

ooh good point....

maybe i should read what it says. i know that i can take my car to the acura dealer for service.....i'll go see who pays for the warranty repairs

Thorin78

Curry is offering a 8 yr/120k warranty 0 deductible for 05-06 TLs. bastards. I have a 04

Why are you being charged $100 clams to cancel? I canceled my extended warranty without any charges (just feet dragging on the part of the dealer). Look on the back of the contract (usually you have 30-60 days to cancel the contract without penalties) and it will state what you have to do to cancel the extended warranty. Mine said that I just had to write a letter stating I want to cancel the warranty and give my warranty contract to the dealership. At that point, the dealer must accept my cancellation. Hope that helps.

txathlete

How much? I might be interested since I think my TL is a keeper. My dad drove his buick for almost 20 years before he sold it. I'm thinking when the warranty runs out, that's when I'll get something else.

vp911

It's all the dealers... acura changed the way the extended warrantys are offered... over 6k miles and you cant get a 0 deductible.

yoolykeme

3 years later, I knew this would pop up!

one day, my nav just blew up......turns out that the whole brain had to be replaced....and they did...new Nav DVD, and everything!!!!!

good thing that I bought this way back...

U prob got a fedelity warrenty which has a $50 deductable for everything.
The only place u can get a acuracare warrenty is from a acura dlr a infinity dlr cant sell u a acuracare warrenty. WHt Company warrenty did u get none of the 3rd party warrenty's are nearly as good as the acuracare!
