Lots of independent mechanics can use Warranty Direct, you are not tied to Honda dealers. But, IMHO, she'd be better off paying for a roadside service plan (flat tires, dead battery, etc), adding towing and rental car riders to her auto insurance policy and putting the remainder into some investment. |

For one, I think there's already an extended Honda drive train warranty beyond the bumper to bumper coverage you mentioned. Tell her to take the $1600, put it in a good mutual fund and in the unlikely event the bus needs significant repairs after the Honda warranty period, pay for them with the capital gains on the mutual fund. Now if it was a Ford or GM vehicle, I'd probably have different advice;-) |

It is much less expensive, and also covers ANY liability you may have, including your home. |

If I've got only $800 in the bank, an eight year old car, no real estate and a lot of credit card debt, you could sue me whatever I may have done or not done and win a judgment for $2,000,000.... and you'd never get a dime. Can't get blood from a stone my boy. That why lawsuits are directed toward those with deep pockets;-) |

On the internet you can buy a zero deductible 120k 8 year Honda Care service
agreement for around $1200 so your deal is not worth it. Search using www.google.com and make sure it is official honda agreement. 3rd parties can go out of business. Is any worth buying? If you sell the care before the service agreement is over you will probably get a lot more money for it so it could easily pay for itself. > wrote in message ups.com... > Sis just bought a new Odyssey.

State Farm now requires more than 100k coverage to qualify for the umbrella.

But why would you want to lose any of what little you have?
