Car Forum / Acura Cars / August 2004Extended warranty
Hi, I just bought a 2002 Acura 1.7 EL Premium with extended warranty of 6 years/160,000 kms. I am thinking of cancelation the extended warranty and use the money to buy a new set of tires as the current tires are worn out. The car has still factory warranty. Should I need the extended warranty? Thank you. N. >Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >N. You can't afford tires for your car? That's very sad. -- Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. The point here is the worth of extended warranty. If it is not worth it then better use the money to buy a set of tires which is clearly worth the money. So, the question is 'Is it worth the extended warranty?' N. > >Hi, > > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > -- > Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. Its a tough call. I got the extended warranty when I bought my used 2002 RSX-S. I hope my car doesn't break down but its nice to have the extra insurance just in case. I figure that if I have a problem, it'll probably pay for itself. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > N. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > N. Who is providing the warranty, Acura or a third party? If it's Acrua then I'd keep it, if it's a third party I wouldn't. Extended warranties tend to be ripoffs in the first place but at least with the automaker you have a reasonable expectation that they will be around when you need to use the warranty. With a 3rd party you don't know if they will even be in business when you need a repair, and if they are you don't know if they are going to make it difficult for you to collect. Heck, you sometimes cannot even trust the regular warranty. People have been denied claims on cracking leather seats in the RSX-S while others have had them fix/replaced no problem. I'm not sure I would buy another extended warranty up front unless there is incentive to buy it sooner rather than later (like a discount for example). Otherwise you are just giving the warranty company an interest free loan. I asked if I could cancel my extended warranty when I bought and was told I could at any time. Well I contacted Acura and they tell me that I cannot. Sometimes I wonder where the lies end..........
