extended warratny for Honda Civic LX 2007?
Hi
I just bought the 2007 civic LX A/T. I am thinking of the extended warranty for 7years/130000 km for 1000$ Canadian. What do you guys think , are people taking it. Basic warranty is 3 year for bumper to bumper and 5 years for powertrain and tranny. I have had two Hondas before 93 Civic and 92 Accord and never had a problem before 8 years, but I hear quality is not what it used to be, excellent compared to everybody else but not the same comparted to older gen Hondas. I am planning to keep this car for at least 8 years I appreciate the help. I believe you have a few months to exercise the extended warranty for the same price Tx again |

Think of it like this: buying the insurance is a gamble and the odds are stacked against you -- that is why these policies are so profitable. But it's like a casino, you could "win" if you need an expensive covered repair within the policy period. And some cars will certainly need such a repair. Have you considered just putting the $1,000 into a money market account and using it as an auto repair fund? |

some warranty companies will issue a refund if no claims are ever filed.
but I don't know details of this and I have never tried to get a refund. perhaps others are more familiar with how this works. "cosza" > wrote in message ... Hi I just bought the 2007 civic LX A/T.

Some have had their glitches, but I own one and haven't had a problem yet. I have never owned a honda previous to this but I was really taken with this generation civic. -- BlackGT2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackGT2000's Profile: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...?userid=336868 View this thread: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=688360 http://www.automotiveforums.com |

Only buy a Honda warranty. If it isn't from Honda, forget about it. Price
the Honda on line. Should be around $1000 US for zero deductible 120k 7 or 8 years (I forgot). One advantage of buying is for resale. I instead of trading a car in you sell it a few months before the transferable service agreement ends. You will sell quickly at a high end price if the car is in good shape since you can effectively provide a warranty with it. "cosza" > wrote in message ... > Hi > I just bought the 2007 civic LX A/T.
