Thanks,

The first thing we need to do is to run your VIN, and get you as close to the expiration date of the factory warranty with the Extended.
At this point, the warranties work in 12/12K intervals, and have a $100 deductible.
1 yr 12K - 765.00
2 yr 24K - 900.00
3 yr 36K - 1220.00
4 yr 48K - 1800.00
These are valid for vehicles under 40,000 miles. |

Tim, thanks for the great price and smooth transaction on the warranty for my '04. I bought it from you over the phone Monday and the contract was here on Wednesday.
$1,780 for 4 yr/ 48K miles... was going to buy it from a local dealer, but their qoute was about $400 higher.

Hi Tim -
I just tried calling the "888" number but got a busy signal, so thought I'd post my question here.
We have a 2003 MDX, purchase 05/03, with around 49,200 miles. We haven't had any major problems, but are a little nervous to go out of warranty, so naturally we're thinking of purchasing an extended warranty.
If I understand your website correctly, our options are:
24/24k for $950
36/36k for $1,265
48/48k for $1,500
Is that right?
Thanks! |
|

| All but the last one, which is $1800. |

| Is it possible to purchase another extended warranty after the first one expires ? I have a 7/100 expiring this Nov06, but plan to keep the vehicle (2000 TL, 63K miles) a few more years. |

| Directly through Acura, no....however I may be able to do something with an aftermarket warranty called AutoSelect. |

Is that because you can't purchase an additional warranty? There is a 24K/24month AcuraCare w/$100 deductible listed on your site for vehicles after 1999/newer with up to 70K miles. I'm surprised that Acura wouldn't take more of your money if they will take it from someone who hadn't purchased an extended warranty but is still up at that mileage. |

Florida has "equal treatment" consumer protection laws that prevent Tim from selling you a discounted policy in Florida. You have to go to a Florida dealer to purchase one. He does have a note on the website that says: "These policies are not available to Florida residents." |

Hi Tim,
I bought a 2001 MDX with 71k on it two months ago. I would like to purchase a extent warranty. I expect to drive 3k a year. So I prefer time better than millages. Can you let me know what is the best option for me? thanks |

What are the options under the $100 deductible AcuraCare option that go in 12K/12Month increments that are available for high mileage/age vehicles? Are those not AcuraCare? |

Hello Everyone,
Very helpful forum you guys have running here. Recently bought an '03 Touring w/ NAV along with the extended warranty from the dealership. Now I'm a bit confused as to what warranty I've bought (~$900) b/c I was told it is 7yr/100K from the vehicle IN-SERVICE date (Feb,'03) meaning it will last until Feb,2010 or 100K. Is there a different type of warranty for Acura CPO since the vehicle went through Acura's 'certification' process?
But I see that the extended warranties mentioned here start from PURCHASE date? Thanks for the clarification! :)

Hi Tim,
i don't anyone asked this question, so i will...
If the extended warranty is NOT used at all and it is still within the coverage period, can you get a 100% refund or is it prorated?
Thanks! |

Tim -
2002 Acura, 60k miles - Massachusetts - what are my options - only aftermarket? How good are the aftermarkets in terms of TRANNY coverage?
Please advise -
Thanks |
|
|
| hondacuraworld |
Yep, at your current mileage, aftermarket is the only option.
We sell a plan called AutoSelect, most Acura dealers carry it and work with it, it's the best of the aftermarket out there. A plan for 4 years added coverage or a total odometer reading of 100,000 runs around $1200 IIRC.
If you like, email me at hondacuraworld@aol.com with your address and I can mail you the plan details. |

Today (12-6-06) I purchased an Extended Warranty (4 yr/4800 mile) for $2,000 from a San Francisco Bay Area Acura Dealership, with 100% refundable after its expiration if no claim is filed under the Warranty. My 03 X has the original warranty to expire in the next 4 days. I was able to negotiate the price from the original offer of $2,500 by the dealer. :rolleyes: |
|
|
| hondacuraworld |
I don't know where these dealers are getting off telling people about a refund if the plan isn't used. That's not the case with the AcuraCare plans. Unless they do it in-house somehow, I don't know.
Be VERY sure that's spelled out in writing. |

Yes, both the dealer's finance officer and I singed the agreement for 100% return if no claim filed after the extended warranty expires. The 100% return policy is guaranteed by this dealer ony and not by other dealers in the same area. Warranty is under the Acura Care plan. In the next 30 days, I should receive the contract package from Acura Finance in Torrence of California. :eek: |

Sounds like a marketing ploy. The dealer sells you an extended warranty that you may have not bought if it were not refundable. Then all they have to do is "find" a warranty issue that they get paid for too. |

I see Tim mentioning "AutoSelect" ... callled my dealer and they weren't familiar with AutoSelect, but have had good experience with Gold Key Warranty.
Anyone have any insight here? Essentially, I would like something to cover the powertrain to 100k in case my transmission goes (again).
Thanks |

I asked my dealer on this particular conern, and he said I have the option of using my Extended Warranty (EW) coverage for a repair job or paid out of my own pocket without invoking the EW just to conserve it at the end to get my full refund back. I won't use this EW unless I really need to to fix some major repairs within the coverage period. :rolleyes: |

After reading all of the extended warranty posts... I recently purchase an 03 MDX with 42k on it.
If I am correct, I am covered till about Apr 2007 or 50k by the original warranty. If I want an extended warranty, I should wait till I am just about out of warranty... and the longest I can get would be 48mo/48K from Tim for $1800.
Am I correct in this?
Thanks |

You'll have to check when the exact in-service date of your vehicle was. If it's an '03, it's possible it was in service in '02 (since the new year models are released in the year prior). So, if it was bought new in October 2002, you would be out of warranty on time. Your dealer should be able to tell you the in-service date if you don't know it. |

I have the 03 X too which I bought in Dec 2002. Now it has just been expired from the original warranty, and I already purchased the extended one.
My dealer told me the price of the extended warranty depends on the mileage of your X. If you have a high mileage, you may end up paying more for the same warranty for a vehicle with lower mileage.
Your Acura's original warranty will expire either by time or mileage whichever comes first. Looks like you are already out of original warranty based on your mileage alone.

| I checked a carfax report before I bought the car and original title date was 4/18/2003. You say you believe I am out of warranty due to mileage... I thought there was a 48mo/50k mile warranty? I have just under 43k miles... |

Hi Tim,
I have a 2003 MDX with 35K miles that is going out of warranty on 1/31/2007, and was curious to know what the cost would be for me to buy the extended warranty ?
Could you please tell me what the cost would be for:
24 months/ 24K miles
36 months/ 36K miles
46 months/ 48K miles....
Are all these warranties in 12K miles increments ?
Thanks,
Kamal |
|
|
| hondacuraworld |
24 months/ 24K miles 900
36 months/ 36K miles 1220
46 months/ 48K miles 1800
These prices are for the MDX with under 40K, and are $100 deductible. Aside from teh 1 year 12K, these are the only eligible plans. |
|
|
| kamalsyal |
Thanks Tim for the quick response.
One more question...are loaner cars covered under this extended warranty? Generally, are loaner cars part of warranty, or is it a benefit since I own an Acura ?
Also, my warranty expires end of this month...whats the last date I can enroll for this extended warranty ? I am leaning towards a 3 yr 36K warranty...
Thanks,
Kamal |

Email me directly with the VIN and I will find out your in-service date.
I'll reply to your email with an attachment that explains plan specifics better than I can :) |

Tim,
How does the extended warranty work on the 2007? The standard warranty is 4 years, 50K miles bumper-bumper, and 6 years 70K powertrain.
How does a (for example) 4 year, 60K extended warranty work on top of the standard? WHat does it add to each of hte warranty components? |
|
|
| hondacuraworld |
Don't forget that for those particular plans (for vehicles over 6K miles), the plan extends the warranty from the plan purchase date, not from the in-service date.
The coverages run concurrently, except for the added benefit of trip interruption benefits, and travel planning through Cross Country Motor Club. |

Thanks !!! Wasn't even aware that they sold Extended Warranties.
Two questions,
1. How can the disclaimer that a car still has to be in its factory warranty to qualify for those warranties be valid when some of the quotes are for cars more than 4 years old and with up to 100K miles ? I must have missed something in the earlier pages of this thread.
2. The Acura Care Warranty is an "extension" of the factory warranty right ?
Thanks !!

Here's a link that explains the difference between the new and used vehicle warranty plans Link. If you email Tim at www.hondacurawworld.com he will gladly answer any questions you have. The $100 deductible plan should not be more expensive. If you take the base price shown and then add the appropriate amount for the term selected, the $0 plan should always be more expensive. |
|
|

ha ha..i did the math again..I guess I had them reversed. they were $100 better on the one with a $100 deductible.

| Tim, I just purchased a 2007 MDX and have 105 miles on it. I would like to confirm that the 7-year/100k warranty with $0 deductible is $1660. Can you please confirm? |
|

| Also, is there any drawback from ordering this online compare to the dealer that sold the car? Should I place the order through the website or through you? |

The only "downside" is that you won't get to see the satisfied smirk on the face of the dealer who just pocketed several hundred more dollars of your money than was necessary for you to spend.
Your warranty from Tim is registered with Acura and honored everywhere. |

I know there must be a previous posted answer to a question similar to mine, but I'll take the easy way.
I have a 2005 MDX with NAV and RES. It was perchased in June 2005 and currently have 28,300 miles on.
What type if extended warranty terms, coverage and deduction I get to choose from (all options) now, verses what options I'd have if the odometer reads 48,300? |

Tim,
I visited your site. The quote I saw is the current mileage plus $1200 to provide an extended warranty for 6 years or 84000 miles.
Will the 84000 be in addition to the current 28300 or included the 28300 miles? In other words, I need to confirm that the extended warranty will cover my MDX until the odometer reads 112300 miles or 6 years from the date of purchasing the warranty whichever comes first? |

At that point, depending on the year your vehicle is at that time, you'll just have a 4 year/48 K extension available, as opposed to a 5 year 84K available if you get in under 30K miles. |

Right, everything carries forward from the date you purchase the warranty, if you have over 6K miles on the odometer. |

Hi Tim,
Please forgive me if my question has been asked and answered before. My 2004 MDX is just 51K. What is the solution for the extended warranty? If so, what will be the rough price? Also, Can I purchase the warranty from any dealer and get the vehicle serviced at any dealership? Is it transferable?
Thanks,

Tim,
My question was if I have 30K on my MDX and I buy 6 years/84K mile extended warranty, will the guarantee expire when the odometer reads 84K or when it reads 114K? And, the 6 year period is from the date I purchased the car or from the date I purchase the warranty?
It does not really make since to pay about $2000 for an extended warranty that covers only an additional 34K miles. |
|
|
| hondacuraworld |
| 114K and the time starts from the purchase date of the warranty. Everything is carried forward from the time of warranty purchase, on those particular plans. |

With the $100 deductible plan, does the deductible applied to every visit to the dealership or per incident. For example, if I need to have the transmission repair in 2 seperate visits, am I going to be charged $100 for each time, or just once because it was for the same issue?:confused: Thanks |

I am looking to buy a CPO 2004 MDX and I’m interested in extended warranty coverage. I am trying to figure out if CPO is worth the extra price if the car is still under warranty. I am looking for the longest *time* I can warranty the car, miles are not an issue, the car will be driven less than 10K miles/year.
I'm confused. Help. :)
Car is a 2004 MDX with an original in-service of 2/1/04, with 42K miles on it, still under warranty. Scenarios are CPO or non-CPO.
The CPO warranty extends the original warranty period (if any remains) by 12mo/12K mi., and extends the powertrain warranty to 7yr/100K from original in-service date w/ zero deductible. So this car will be CPO warrantied until 2/1/2009, powertrain until 2/1/2011.
There is a "wrap" warranty that is available when you purchase a CPO vehicle that will extend the "bumper-to-bumper" portion of the 12m/12Kmi warranty out to match the 7yr/100K powertrain warranty. (I've gotten guesstimates from sales people of "about $900-$1000 for the wrap").
That would bring the full warranty period on thi car car to 2/1/2011 or 100K miles (7 years after original in-service date.), and would include the roadside assistance and other perks of the CPO warranty.
My question is:
On that same example CPO (in-service date of 2/1/04), since it is still under the original warranty, can I get a 48mo/48Kmi warranty on (or just before) 2/1/08 that will get me coverage until 2/1/2012, effectively giving me *8* years of coverage from the in-service date *instead* of the 7 years I'd get with the CPO wrap?
If so, would this warranty cost the same as buying the 48mo/48Kmi warranty on a non-cpo car (all other things being the same)? I'd be getting less than 3 yrs out of this extended since most of the first year's coverage would be covered by the CPO warranty.
And, if I can get this 48/48K warranty on a CPO car, can I get it on a CPO car that is *out* of original warranty (i.e., has over 50K miles)? Or is the only Acura Care warranty available to a car out of original warranty the 12/12K CPO warranty (and wrap, if purchased) with a CPO car?
Thanks! |

| Hey, don't waste your money. Most of the problems in this car come after the first 100K when your guarantee is expired. If the guarantee will cover up to 120K them I may consider it. |

Yes, but I'm interested in the extended/CPO because I want *peace of mind* - and future budget.
If I get to 100K with no problems, whapping myself on the forehead saying "wow, you could have saved the warranty money" will be much less painful and acrobatic than kicking myself in the head should something major (expensive) fail before 100K when I don't have a warranty.

The wrap will cost many hundreds of dollars less. It's an outstanding value.
I mean you can get either or, what's the price of the wrap they're offering? |

Since the wrap warranty can only be added at time of purchase, I want to make sure I include it in my calculations. I'm looking at a few cars at this point, and when asking dealers for the wrap cost, I've received quotes of between $1000, $1200 and $1500, with one telling me over the phone that it was "about $2500, a great deal!"
I'm finding anything over $1000 to be a bit steep for what amounts to 2 years of coverage for parts that are non-powertrain, when a full 48/48 Acura Care plan (with deductible) costs about $2000 for cars still in original warranty. Based on some of these quotes, it would be smarter for me to get a 48/48 - I'd get an extra year of coverage - that's worth moving to a decuctible and losing the roadside assistance. |
|
|
| hondacuraworld |
| I don't have the sheets in front of me, but the true cost of the wrap is ~$500. |

Yipes. Then I guess it's not a "pass-through" cost. :)
Does Honda/Acura charge all dealers the same prices on the warranty plans?
Am I correct in seeing that just getting a 48/48 on car still in warranty (say with an inservice date of 12/1/04) will get me to 12/1/12 - or 8 years from original in-service?
Thanks! |

There are no set MSRP's on warranties, so dealers charge what they can.
The warranties aren't perfectly concurrent with the factory warranty, it's 4/48 from the date the warranty is purchased. |

What would be the cost for a 6yr/120K 2007 MDX with 6200 miles??

Thanks for your reply..
Nevermind....just realized that you had listed everything in the website.
BTW, what does the number after the +mean in the drop downs?
That is the additional price you add to the base price shown above the drop menu to get the total price for that option. For example, for a $0 deductible 6 yr 100K warranty you get the total price by adding $700 + $510 = $1210. |

Wow...just saw this thread. Wish I had seen it earlier.
I just purchased a 2004 CPO w/ 71k miles.
From your site, is it correct the only option I have for an extended warranty is the 24/24k @$1590?
Also, does that 24/24 overlap the current CPO 12/12k or does it start after the CPO runs out?
What would be my other options?
Thanks! |

The only option you have on a CPO that is out of factory warranty is to purchase what is referred to as the Certified "wrap" warranty, extending the added powertrain coverage to be a full AcuraCare extended warranty.
It can usually only be done at the time of vehicle purchase and only from the selling dealer, but your dealer may still be able to squeeze it in if it's been a short time since your delivery. It's a real bargain, too. Dealer cost on the wrap is 545.00.
The site I realize is a bit misleading in how it's stated, which is why I put at the top that only vehicles in factory warranty are eligible to buy the extended coverage. The exception would be, for example, if you bought the CPO vehicle from us, and wanted the coverage at that time. The wrap is just a much better bargain. |

OK for all questions assume the following for simplicity: 07 MDX w/ less than 6k miles and trying to get 8yr 100k miles $0 deduc acura care.
1. Purchasing the acura care extended warranty lets say today still only gives me 8yrs 100k miles from date of purchase... right or wrong?
2. Do you do payment plans e.g. 12 month no interest etc.?
3. Do you meet or beat other places... (since to be honest I've found this acura care plan cheaper at other places online..reputable places btw...up to just over $230 cheaper actually..I'm not knocking on you since I know what a good job you do for the site etc but $230 is alot... that's like my front bumper garnish right there :p ..hehehe)
4. Is acura care extended warranties transferable to the next owner when/if you sell a vehicle?
Thanks Tim for any info in advance!! |

The warranties actually fell in price recently, I've just prodded the webmaster to take care of this *again*.
We don't do payment plans, but we do meet or beat, and yes, it is transferable. |

| Hey Tim... is this a normal thing that it has dropped by so much this month...do you think it will be going back up soon etc. ..I am trying to figure out when to buy since I got like 4 months before I HAVE to ...so any info/insight is appreciated. Thanks. |

Tim you reallyyyy need to get that 0% 12 month financing thing ...that's the ONLY reason I can't pick the warranty up from you since I know you would the rest of stuff like the price matching etc.
I would rather go through you since you're here and always helping the forums etc. but the 12 month thing is too good to pass up when the cash flow isn't ideal after buying an X and going mod crazy :( all in 2 months :p ...I'll be back for parts/access :) |

Hi, I recently bought a 04 certified mdx with 66k miles on it. The certification pushes the powertrain warranty to 100k/3years and there is an extra 12k/1 year of full warranty coverage. I opted for the wrap warranty that upgraded the 100k/3year to full coverage. I did however get snowed on the price since I had no idea it was even offered until the time of purchase. I recently read through the Acura Care paperwork and it exempts a lot of parts of the car and there is a 60 day cancellation period which I am thinking of using.
I paid $1600 which as I understand now is about $600 over a reasonable price for the wrap. I did however negotiate a good price on the car itself so I could just forget about it. The only things I can think of that the wrap warranty would cover that I would care about are the nav system, the power seats and the ac system. The pragmatic side of me thinks I should just go get my money back but I do wonder if there are things that generally fail between 66 and 100k on mdxs that I should be concerned about. Any suggestions? |

It's hard to let go of what someone makes on your transaction, but you may have to do so in this case. Only the selling dealer can sell a wrap, and being out of factory with that mileage, you're not eligible for any other AcuraCare plan.
That said, you chose pretty much the only available option, and the one that made sense. I won't tell you how much they really made on that contract, unless you really want to know. But, figure that into the vehicle price, and you probably did well all the way around :) |

It doesn't bother me that the dealer made $1000+ in profit on the wrap. What makes me question if I should cancel it is that if honda is only charging $535 or so for the warranty to the dealer then honda knows that it's fairly unlikely for something to go wrong with the car that costs them a lot. After reading all the parts of the car that are excluded I'm thinking that I would be better off saving the money. My question is, Are there things covered by the wrap that are not covered by the CPO warranty that really have a high likelihood of breaking. From reading the forums on this site I'm not finding a lot of people saying that something major broke, most of the stuff sounds fairly minor.
Thanks |

Hi Tim,
Always great work on this board...
Question:
My X is a 2003 purchased 9/03, more than 4yrs.

Thanx |

| We do sell a warranty from a company called Auto Select. It would cover for 4 years from purchase or a total of 100,000 vehicle miles. With a $100 deductible, price is around $1350 as I recall. |
