TL Extended Warranty

TL Extended Warranty
What are your thoughts on the 50,000 mile warranty?
I put tons o' miles on a car. I've been quoted $1,749 to bump the 50k warranty to 100k. I think it is well worth this for the 'factory' warranty. Espec. with a 6spd/navigation........
Thoughts?
Others had this priced out?
Thanks
Pete

Try this link. Seems cheaper, I'm not sure of the relationship between Curry and Acura, though...

I was quoted $1,130 for the same warranty
I'm not a big extended warranty guy but when the finance guy saw me passing on all those add ons, maybe he got aggrssive with the only thing I expressed any interest in...100K warranty = $1,130 on my NAVI. I passed at the time because I don't like to pay for something until I need it. Maybe when the car has 48K on it, I'll reconsider. But 100K warranty on a honda is not an issue. They all easily go over 100K with no problems now-a-days.

Refundable 100K warranty
I bought a Acura Care Pack for $1895 for 7 Yr/ 100K. They will refund anytime prorated if cancelled. If not used can get a full refund at the end of 7 years. If needed during 7 years it covers all parts and labor with any Acura dealer. Only thing I'll have to pay is consumable parts like filters, oil, tires etc. I bought in case if needed for the 1st year model.

7 years unused = 100% refund, REALLY???
Jonj... FULL refund after 7 years. Don't think so...Are you certain that's an Acura warranty? I didn't see any details of a certain 100% refund after 7 years. I understand the 1st year concerns. I think we all here have them.

So these seem to range from $900 - $1,700 and it's agreed it's 100% refundable from Honda.
Can I see this too?
My personal fax is 208-723-2169 (efax).
Would greatly appreciate a copy of this. I'll find some way to repay you one day. I'll owe you 'one'.
Thanks,
Pete / petehaggrd@aol.com
ps - my car finally hit the dealership TODAY. They are prepping and adding on side moulding, wheel locks and protection package tonight/tomorrow

Response to fax
I just have the receipt and will get the contract directly from Acura in 30 days. Will post the scanned clauses as soon as I get it.
For the price I do not worry since it's refundable (if not used). Also tried to negotiate and was told that this is set by Acura and dealer cannot discount this. May be a bull given by the dealer. However, had replaced the radiator on my previous Acura last year and ended up paying about $900 for parts and labor. Thought this might come handy in such cases. Also was told that this cannot be bought once the car is out of the dealership. May be another bull.

So you did not look at the contract at all before agreeing to purchase it? What if the other things they told you (such as "this is a refundable purchase") are lies as well?

Acura Care extended warranty info
Just to give my $.02 on the subject and hopefully clear up some misconceptions out there.
I purchased the extended 7/100K $0 deduct. version at the time of purchase for $1120 through my dealer. This was negotiated at the same time as my car purchase so not an impulse on my part or a forced sale item on behalf of my dealer. It was explained to me to be a continuation of the factory warranty that comes with the `04 TL. Upon receiving my contract weeks after delivery of the car and purchase it in deed reads as a complete extension of coverages. One difference is that you get a rental car up to $45/day vs. a loaner during the factory warranty period. Hope this clears some things up. Also it is transferable upon a $50 fee which on an earlier thread was thought not to be possible. You must have a complete service record and do so through your original dealer to process the transfer though. Hope this all helps.

ext. warranty
FYI, I saw the acura/honda extended warranty COST book last night.
The cost on the zero deductible 50,001 - 100,000 mile extended factory warranty ( thru acura/honda ) is $925 or $950 (forget exactly which). The $25 or $50 deductible was $900. Strange difference, eh??
ALL FINANCE MANAGERS in the dealerships are then marking this up to whatever they feel they can earn. I have no problem with them making a dollar. It is the American way, however, doubling this price and then saying i'm getting a hell of a deal is NOT ok.
I'm shooting for $1,000 now (vs $1795 verbal quote).

For you Lore.....Happy Holidays..My gift to you
Hi everyone,
Not only do I provide the best deal for a Nav model but a copy of the extended warranty to top it all off. The file is a PDF and I scanned both pages of the book at once so you will need to rotate to view on your screens or just print out. Unfortunately I am unable to post. Please e-mail me direct and I will reply with the file attached. Happy Holidays everyone. Drive safe in your new TLs, I know I am!

Check out http://acuraofmissionviejo.com/acura-care-quote.asp
they offer the Acura Care Extended Warranty at a substantial discount. I talked to Acura Customer Service and Acura Care...they both said you can buy the Acura Care warranty from any Honda or Acura dealer. Therefore you can buy it over the internet from Mission Viejo Acura if your dealer won't match or beat their price.

They don't seem to allow quotes for cars purchased this year.

OH. Whoops. Hahaha.
I misread the page; thought it wanted the "model" year of the car.
My bad!
(But in answer to your question, I am in 2003 as well... at least for another few days. hehe)

I started researching extended warranties. Is this warranty a wear and tear, bumper to bumper warranty? In other words, is it an exclusionary warranty? (Covers everything except the stuff excluded in the list?)
If so, then it's a decent warranty, provided you get it for about $1k for 7/100,000 and $0 deductible. I will probably try to buy the warranty for that price.

These warranties run concurrent with the manufacturer's warranty, right?
There was another thread about someone with a stress fracture in their glass. Being that the extended warranty doesn't cover glass, why would the manufacturer's warranty cover glass? (I thought since it was an extension of the warranty, the manufacturer's warranty would be the same).
I'm hearing that manufacturer's extended warranties, such as the one offered by Acura dealerships, are easily marked up 300%. That said, even at $1120, the dealer cost of it is probably near $400.
edit: although someone above stated that they saw the cost book saying the price is about $900. Is that a legitimate source?

brucedeb1, sorry but you're wrong. The Acura Care is a service contract note a warranty. It's not an extension of complete coverage of the mfr warranrty. Go here to read the text of the contact. Pay careful atention to what's NOT covered! I have this on my '00 and it was sold to me as an extension of the warranty, but things like light bulbs, trim, some SRS parts AREN'T covered, while the mfr warranty does cover them for 4yrs/50K.
http://www.acuradriver.com/acura_car...e_contract.asp
I hope we can have intelligent discussion on this topic now. As for being refundable, not one person has scanned their written confirmation of this. Acura would go broke if they offered a full refund if not used.

The finance woman at my dealer said the MSRP on the 7/100k $0 deductable warranty was something like $2,400. Again, I certainly don't take a dealer's words as the gospel truth...however, $1,124 remains the best deal I've come across.

Lore and Fasttl
Fast tl if you would like a copy of the complete Acura Care warranty e-mail me direct as the PDF file will not post on this forum. You will get a prorata refund if not used depending on the amount of mileage and years left.
Lore thanks for the credit in your note above.
Happy New Year everyone. By the way, the price I paid for my warranty was $1120 as some others have paid. I was told this was the employee purchase price when I bought it, not the Dealer's cost. I was happy with it and the complete deal I got at my dealer as some of you have either read or heard direct from me.
Regards,
Bruce

I paid $860 for 7 year 100k warranty with 0 deductible. The dealer told me this was their cost. I have no idea if this is true or not. One additional thing though, they told me I was going to have a $50 deductible but when I got it in the mail it was for a zero deductible. So I guess I got lucky there.

So to be clear, 2 DIFFERENT warranties are being confused on this thread. I was discussing the Acura Care service contract which I have on my '00. The starter of this thread is talking about another warranty which presumably extends the full mfr bumper-to-bumper warranty. What is the name of THAT one?
