Hi everyone, please educate me.
I bought my 1st car, Honda Civic 2005 about 6 weeks ago. The salesperson offered the deal included the pruchase that I would get an extended warranty of 7rs/100,000 miles, from the date I bought my car. This car had 797 miles on it.
2 weeks later, I received a "Honda Care" warranty card and contract, stated that I paid for this warranty :$1,595.00.I was shock, as I thought this extended warranty was included into the purchase price.
My question are:
1/ Is that way too expensive? Any Honda dealers offering the same warranty at the cheaper price? And should I buy it from a Honda local dealer or just go online, such as curryhondacare.com, to buy it?2/ Does the extended warranty really work, if that was the case? Because I heard Honda manufactured very reliable, durable cars. So someone educated me that the extended warranty is just another profitable cow for dealers making money.
3/ So should I drop the extended warranty and go back to manufacturer warranty which is 3yrs/36,000 miles and get my money back?4/ How much the refund I can get? Here is my situation: I used Honda care for towing my car to the nearest Honda dealer service center to some jobs needed to be done. So if I decided to switch to manufactuer warranty of 3yrs/36,000miles, I would get FULL refund? Or $1,595.00 subtracted the amount that I had used?
I have 2 weeks left to decide, based on the "60 days cancelation, no obligations"
So please help. Thank you very much
