Hi All,
I am interested in taking out either a Honda assured extended warranty or a specific dealer mechanical protection plan. The latter sounds more like a form of insurance than a warranty.

The extended warranty is $750 for 2 years, is very similar to the factory warranty (ie. no limit on cover for items deemed coverable), but it states that I must use genuine Honda parts and have it serviced at regular intervals as specified in the manual. It also includes premium roadside assist.

The second basically has limits on the amount of the $$$ value it will cover. For $795 over 3 years, its cover is limited to $2000 per claim (with unlimited claims) and also includes the same roadside assist. Also, I MUST have it only serviced by the dealer that I take this out with, no exceptions.

In my opinion, the extended offers more value and does not take my freedom of choice away when serviciing.

Has anyone else faced the same choices and were you able to negoitate on the pricing at all?

Thanks.
