Wife just bought a 2005 Pilot EX-L with RES and was offered the 8 yr 120K
extended warranty thru Honda (zero deduct) for $2000 more.
They said it was $2300 and would be going up again soon for 2006 pricing
changes, so that if we came back in 30 days etc it might be as high as 2500+
at that point due to those yearly increases in warranty policies that are
about to take place (so they say).
This is a vehicle she is planning to keep, and the Honda warranty appears to
offer some nice extras (roadside assistance etc) but we were wondering what
the average TRUE price paid for this type of warranty is thru Honda dealers
on a 2005 Pilot.
It sure seemed (on paper) to cover an awful lot, of course not wear and tear
items but seemed to cover most of the large major things for that extended
time frame and is zero deductable...
Is it worth going back in and getting the 8 yr 120K warranty for 2G's?
Sorta seems like it might be but not sure if we are just being too cautious
or overpaying etc? |

I'd check with www.warrantydirect.com
Not a Honda warranty but Warranty Direct allows you to use independent
mechanics. Also an easy price comparison.
However, as another poster said, you are unlikely to get your money's
worth from any warranty in 120K miles with a Honda product.
If you want an extended warranty for peace of mind, the issue other
than price is the documentation required to prove routine maintenance
has been performed. Often the manufacturer is more difficult to deal
with than an independent mechanic. Hence, Warranty Direct would be my
suggestion. |

Is this place legit and 100% compatable if i were to buy thru them vs local
dealer
www.hondawarrantyinfo.com
anyone know for sure, appears you are buying actual honda care from a honda
dealer, just confirming there would be no issues or changes to coverage or
warranty....
you know what they say if it looks too good it probably is too good??? But
then agian seems pretty straight forward, another dealer offering a lower
price for what appears to be Honda Care warranty...also gotta see if the
warranty she bought last night could or can be cancelled today (a day
later)....

Just paid $1350 for 8 year zero deductible 120k mile warranty on Odessey
touring. You are being ripped off. There are better prices on internet or
if you live in NC, try Melissa at Honda in Cary for a price.

I would only buy a manufacturer's warranty. 3rd parties disappear all the
time.

On the otherhand, if you sell the car privately in year 7 with a one year
warranty you will probably get your money back out of it.

The price is negotiable. Probably should be around $1000. Use
www.google.com and search for a better price. Make sure you get a Honda
warranty and not a 3rd party.

Go to Honda.com and check out he extended warranty, you should be able3 to
purchase the identical warranty for about one half the rate the dealers
charge. Just go to google and punch in hondacare extended warranty.
