Sign In 2006 Honda Odessey 82,000 miles Hello...I recently purchased our Honda Lease vehicle (2006 Odessey) from the dealership we got it from and with the exception of a "Black Death" a/c malfunction last summer that was covered in our extended warranty that we purchased when we leased it there have been no real issues with the car. Now that I own this vehicle free and clear I was wondering whether purchasing an extended warranty through a 3rd party is a good idea. I plan on owning this vehicle for a few more years and want some kind of extra protection. Is it a good idea? Bad idea? Any help would be appreciated!

The odds are with the house but if you beat the odds, you'll be ahead. Then you have to factor in how good the company and the policy is. Some cover nothing or have copays that make it not worth it. They have a lot of ways to word the fine print that leaves you out in the cold. I would pass on it and take your chances. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. techforfree User Apr 13, 2011, 4:53 AM Post #3 of 4 (1337 views) Re: Extended Warranty? Sign In I'm with Hammer,Ive seen way to many extended warranty programs that are nothing short of legal scams, I'm not a fan at all and Hondas for the most part are pretty reliable,I'd pass...Good luck Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Apr 13, 2011, 5:05 AM Post #4 of 4 (1336 views) Re: Extended Warranty? Sign In Ditto: Too much bad news with these things and some find neat ways not to pay or plain out of biz later so money lost. It's gambling as Hammer said. If you factor cost up front, deductibles you have a head start if it did need something right away, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
