Like hell! "MOST" of the US does not get Ontario's artic blast nor the salt/sand treatment to its roads. WI, WY, MA, NY, MN, etc are not "most" of the US. (Texas is -most- of the US .... Hehehhehe).

errr.. .Stephen, WRONG !

Honda does honor its warranty and even honors the 'honda' extended warranty! It's Honda Plus in canada and Honda Care in US.

Will Honda Plus honour a Honda Care?

Have you actually done this?

Q. Is my Honda Plus extended warranty policy transferable to the United States if I move there with my car?

A. No. Check your Honda or Acura Plus contract for details on how to obtain a pro-rated refund if you are moving outside Canada with your vehicle.

If it's not transferable one way, I would suspect it's not transferable the other way either.

Pretty sure it wasn't. Thanks for the positive confirmation.

So, be careful with buying a car from Wisconsin, Wyoming, Massechussets, NY, Washington, Minnesota etc. :)

Not only because of salt/sand treatment. Rubber things in chassis have a hard life too. Permanent running cold engine every morning with oil like gel is not good for it also.

not sure if Honda Plus honors Honda Care ( the orig. question was re: a Seattle guy wanting to buy a car from Canada then take it back to Seattle) but Honda dealers in WA will definitely honors Honda Plus.

The dealer (not you) has an extra phone call to make but they will do it .

Hmm... I already filed 2 claims on Honda Plus while living in NJ via a honda dealer in NJ. One think i could think of is that the standard rate for a honda mechanic in US is around 60-75 per hour. If a US dealer is providing any type of service for Honda Plus, they will want that same rate which translate to 84-105 Cdn$$. That IS a VERY steep rate for Honda Plus Canada to pay out.

Is Canada a different country? I thought they were annexed already. ;)

Try Calif.....where the hourly rate is $80-85 per hour in US $ BTW...where is your Honda registered? If one were able to buy a car in Canada, customs duty also must be paid, in addition to applicable sales taxes.

Currently registered in WA. I didn't have to pay duty when moving down here b/c I have dual citizenship and was living in Canada at the time. Not sure how much custom $$ is but sales tax here in US is still lower than in Canada
