Acura Plus Extended Warranty

[ron007]

Good day folks!

What do you guys think off acura plus warranty? Dealer offered me 10yrs/160k km with free oil change and brake replacement for 5 yrs. Price will be at $2350 usd. I’m worried about our L15 longevity and living in cold climate with short trips made me think of this warranty. I only drive 7.5k miles a yr. Any opinions will be appreciated

Change your oil often and you'll be good to go.

If you take the warranty, dealer probably won't want to change the oil until it reaches a low %...

Agree with the above. Money better spent on more frequent oil changes with quality oil. Maintenance trumps repairs.

That's a decent deal. You can get them a bit lower on it I suspect since for my type s they were willing to do 1750$.

I personally don't believe Honda is reliable anymore. Two of their products have left my family stranded in the last 2 years, and they were always diligent on maintenance (with the dealer). If you need a turbo replacement in 3 years, the warranty has paid for itself. I just paid for a warranty on an X7 because one air suspension repair can easily outpace the warranty cost.

Downside to the warranty is you must do all scheduled service with them or keep very diligent receipts if you've done them elsewhere. If you're not a mechanic or the procedure isn't in the user's manual, they won't accept home maintenance as valid during a warranty claim.
