Default Re: Beyond Buying the Car : The Warranty, etc. (How to Avoid the "Clear Coat")

I'm with hmmrmnhrm on the bra. Find another method, or none at all, to protect the front. Scratching the clearcoat and uneven fading are very real issues with most bras. I've had one before, and never again.
And I concur with Mikeyt758 on the extended HondaCare warranty. Get it cheap at the dealer or get it elsewhere. Search on this site, you'll find lots of discussion on the topic. MANY people went to Saccucci or Bernardi to get theirs online. Be prepared BEFORE making the deal, and you'll know whether to buy it at the dealership or online. ONLY if you live in FL is this not possible. In FL, you're hosed by your gov't trying to "protect" you from the fly-by-night outfit. In so doing, there is NO competition in FL, and you can't buy the extended warranty outside of FL.
