Are these plans good all over the united states from your dealership?

Hondacare is good at any Honda dealership in the USA and Canada. This is not an aftermarket warranty and is backed by Honda.

What company is selling these policies? I know you said it's backed by Honda but is honda backing them as an insurance policy or are these sold directly from Honda? What is the name of the company on the paperwork?

Hi Nasty...I think what we may have here is a Spammer...what do you think [sm=smiley25.gif]

No spammer here!! I work for Mike Pruitt Honda in Akron, Ohio just down the road from Waikem Honda in Massillon, Ohio. Feel free to google hondacareguy and read all the positive feedback from my many happy customers. This product is backed by Honda and says Honda Care on the front of the contract. This is a parts and labor agreement with a $0 deductable. When you purchase Honda Care it goes into Honda's national database. Any time you go to your local Honda dealer for repairs they will see in their computers that you have this coverage. You can call Honda Care at 1.800.999.5901 to verify this. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at 1.800.323.2945 or 330.633.6060. I am here Mon-Thurs 9:00am-8:00pm and Saturday 9:00am-6:00pm EST and off Fridays and Sundays.

so, who actually buys these things? i mean, if they didnt make money on it, it wouldnt be sold.

this reminds me of the worst part of buying the car. the finance office. last time the idiot tried to tell me i needed gap insurance when my down payment was 10k. really raises the cred.

I sell 30-40 Honda Care warranties a month at the dealership I work at and sell them at a fair price. You can't let one finance manager speak for all of them just like you do not speak for all Honda buyers. I am not sure what you do for a living but you work for a company or yourself and make a profit in doing so. I am not sure what percentage of Honda buyers purchase Honda Care but whereI work it is about 25%-30%. Just like everything else in life people have choices and choose to protect themselves with Honda Care or self insure themselves like you do.

I make no comment on the prices you offer. I have done no research on it, therefore I can't comment. Nor are my statements intended to be a blanket for all Honda buyers. If you post commercial sales postings on here (which is essntially what this is), I am going to comment on it, and criticize if I do not agree with it.

I contend that those 30-40 people / month are not very savvy with their money. Even if you sold them at cost, these warranties would only be sold if they were money makers for the underwriters. Those consumers would rather opt for a security blanket. It's their choice. With the convenience of being able to wrap it into a monthly payment, and with spendin all that money already, hey, whats another 500-1000? Combine that with many, but not all, unsavory finance personnel (I do not comment on your practices) trying to guilt you into buying it (Come on, sir, Hondas are reliable cars. We all know that. But even reliable cars still break down)....

Regarding finance managers in general, I have had acceptable experiences, but never a good one. Not one of them would let me leave without telling me about all of their products. This is after I explicity stated that I had no interest in anything they had to offer.

I do research for a living.

Smag, just a side note on the telling people about the products even if they already said they don't want them. Legally speaking if you go into a dealership and they sell extended warranties but don't offer them to you it can be called discrimination and that can be pushed legally. Secondly there have been circumstances in which consumers have gone back to a dealership after the car broke down and sued them for not offering the extended warranty.

Sure a company makes money on it that's the point of selling something. However, not every one that they sell is going to make money. It's just like insurance in the fact that some consumers may never have an accident therefore be paying in all their life while others may have tens of thousands in claims. If you need it it's great if you don't you don't. It's a peace of mind kind of deal.

As for pricing the reason they are less expensive for honda's than other vehicles is because of exactly what you stated. Honda's are reliable. Those sales prices are based on average repair cost numbers so the less repairs you have on a particular vehicle and the fewer things there are to go wrong the cheaper it's going to be. An extended service contract on a new Hummer vs. an accord is HUGE.

Bottom Line: If you're paranoid and want piece of mind and coverage then buy one. If not and you trust your car then don't. It's a rip off unless you need it *L*

or vs. the extended warranty on an M3. also expensive.

good points nasty.

Which reminds me... if you ever want to know the reliability of one vehicle vs. another, ask for quotes on extended warranties, that will tell you what the approx. cost of repairs for that vehicle over the next few years is going to be (be sure to take into account that parts for a BMW are more expensive than parts for a ford)... It's a good reliability measure since someone else has already done the research for you!

Also, HondaCareGuy, what I want to know about the warranty is basically if someone was to buy this are they covered unless Honda files bankruptcy or is there a fall guy that fronts it? Kinda like Ultimate Warranty....

Honda Care is backed by Honda Financial Services a division of Honda Motor Company. This is a factory backed plan which is the best coverage to purchase. The coverage is fairly inexpensive because Hondas are less prone to mechanical failure than other makes and models. My 1997 Honda CR-V has 180,000 miles and I have had no major issue with it. I do regularly maintain it as most Honda owners and I think that has something to do with the success of the brand.

did you buy the hondacare with your crv? would it have been a good investment?

I purchased the 1997 CR-Vwith 110,000 miles on the odometer. My 1997 Honda Accord had 135,000 miles on the odometer when I purchased it and I leased the 2007 Ridgeline for 3yr/36,000 miles. Once you are out of factory warranty you cannot purchase Honda Care coverage so I was not able to do so.

Those prices are under half of the extended warranty prices offered when my dad got his 01 accord and when my mom got her 04 civic. It was close to $2000 for a 7yr/100k warranty for the accord and $1700 for a 7yr/100k warranty for the civic. I do remember receiving a brochure from honda reminding me to get an extended warranty plan before the factory plan was up and the prices on those were about the same price as the one offered by the dealership. You can't blame me for thinking that his is a bogus deal. Do you have an ID # or something for me to call Honda of North America to verify that they back your warranty plans?

Regardless of who is selling the honda factory warranty it's all the same price to Honda. If the dealership sells it for a little extra that's their deal and Honda doesn't worry about it.

If you want my honest opinion on those prices I know that they are ridiculously close to actual cost....

Due to recent changes in Honda Care policy I will no longer sell Honda Care coverage online effective March 1, 2008. This policy will be in effect for ALL Honda dealers and just not myself. If you have any questions regarding this matter, feel free to contact me at tbrown@mphonda.com. Thank you to everyone on this forum for your business and support.

Thank You for letting us know..
