Hello everyone,

I'll be picking up my TLX SH-AWD Advance on Saturday. My salesman asked me today if I wanted to purchase Acura's extended warranty. I told him no, that maybe in a year or two I might consider getting it depending if the car developed a lot of problems during the first 2 years. He told me that Acura has changed it's policy and the extended warranty had to be purchased at vehicle delivery. I know that wasn't the case when I purchase my '04 TL. Can anyone tell me if what he said is true or was he just feeding me a load of crap?

Thanks!

 

I know you have to get the extended warranty at time of purchase for CPO cars, but I'm not sure if that's the case for new cars. The only explicit info I can find is some older stuff that says the car must have <50,000 miles and be 2011 or newer. The only info I could find officially from Acura was this somewhat vague paragraph:

So it says coverage begins at 0 miles when the car is brand new, but it doesn't say if the contract must be purchased at that time.

 

I bought my TLX on Valentine's Day (2/14/15) and the finance manager tried to sell me all the additional warranties, but he told me I had time to decide if I wanted to purchase the extended. I normally don't get any extra warranties on anything, but it's always a nice option. Acura may have changed their philosophy on this matter, but at that time, he said I could wait.
