I got the hybrid because I drive the heck out of my car (as evidenced by 90k miles in 3 years!) I guess that's better than 66k in one year...:P |
Re: Extended Warranty on Civic Hybrid
I had planned to buy my HondaCare warranty from Bernardi Honda (www.hondawarrantyinfo.com) for ~$950 for a 8 yr/120k mi/$0 deductible warranty. I showed the finance manager the quote when I was picking up my car, and the dealer matched it without blinking an eye.

Re: Extended Warranty on Civic Hybrid
The warranty is through API. The dealer said it was the exact same coverage (and price) as HondaCare except that it is refundable after 5 years as long as you don't use it.
I just looked at the warranty and it says 'not refundable in CA, FL, LA, MN, WA, WI, and WY'. The catch is you have to notify them within 6 months of the warranty expiring or you don't get the refund. |
Re: Extended Warranty on Civic Hybrid
I do not buy extended warranties. They are major profit centers for the dealership, and your odds of needing it are only slightly better than winning the lottery. I don't buy lottery tickets, either.

But hey, if it's as you say, it's a GREAT deal! :) |
Re: Extended Warranty on Civic Hybrid
Ralph Schomp Honda does the same thing with an Extended Warranty through GE. If you don't use it, you get a FULL Refund. Same catch, though. They probably hope that most people forget until it is too late. I'm sure that is what happens most of the time.

Re: Extended Warranty on Civic Hybrid
DWAX: I just checked out my API warranty and mine says you have to notify them within 30 days after the warranty expires to get the money back. I bought a 2003 Honda CR-V with this warranty back in Oct 2002 and I can't believe I paid $1398.00 for it! But I hope my CR-V holds out for another two years so I can get those $$ back!! Actually a little over 22 more months. I guess at this point I would have to weigh my options about paying for a repair myself so I could get the $$ back from the warranty.
The deal is as long as you don't make a claim within the 60 months you get it all back. |

Re: Extended Warranty on Civic Hybrid
Anybody got an update on getting an extended warranty. I was going to purchase one (the car is too high tech for me) but bring a quote to the dealer with me and see if they will match the price.
