honda warranty
Hi,
I just bought a 2002 crv that still has 6 month under warranty. I'm considering getting a completely inspection by a dealership. My question is do you think they're less likely to reveal any problems because it's under warranty. I don't know much about how the dealership/warranty/manufacturer triangle works but I do know dealerships try everything they can to deter you from fixing things that're under warranty. Any comments will be appreciated. thanks. Stan |

SoCal makes a good point. The last thing a dealer tech wants to do is
warranty work. If you are that concerned, step up and purchase a Honda Service Contract. I'm sure the local dealer would sell you one at a negotiated price.

Make sure there's no outstanding recalls on it. Also, after buying it, if
it's 4WD, make sure you change the rear differential fluid. Inspect the colour of the brake fluid, if it's of a darkish colour, have it changed. Remove the tranny dipstick and smell the fluid, if it smells very burnt, then you might have to change the fluid. Also, check the colour of the coolant and its level, if it's quite low or the reservoir is empty then the previous owner never topped it up. Other stuff like tires, if it has the originals on, save some money and buy a new set, the originals are crap. I'm doing that to our CRV next summer, buying proper all-season tires (quietter and more grip) Oh, and if you hear clicks when you brake, it's normal, especially if your car sat for the night.

One problem i found is that there's a moderate amount of oil/grease on
the front right axel near the cv boot. That's why I'm a little concerned. I know I'd have to pay the inspection. Also, is it correct that the dealer will perform recall work for free. It seems very obvious, I just never had to deal with recalls before. Thanks. Stan SoCalMike wrote: > s o wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > I just bought a 2002 crv that still has 6 month under warranty.
