Is it really worth it to buy an extended warranty for a 2004 Honda Accord EX with 25k miles?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

the car should have some warranty left on it. I always use the relativity of cost and benefit based on what it covers, the length of warranty and cost. Because of their track record, the car would not likely need powertrain, which would be the most expensive fix. Other things that might go wrong but aren't likely to go wrong would require a pretty extensive warranty and therefore likely be a waste of money.

In my past experience and based on owning approximately 15 cars, the extended warranty is typically just a profit center for the dealer. I would recommend saving your money elsewhere for possible future repairs, but maybe someone else out there has had different experiences.

Answer 3

It should still have some factory warranty left. Use that up and you can still buy an extended warranty at anytime before the factory one expires.

Note: Most dealers actually double the cost of these warranties they sell, so there is room for negotiation. And also ask if it is a Honda warranty or a third party - stay away from third party warranties

Answer 4

chances are if it was going to have problems they would have surfaced by now..but used is a rulette.. typically honda anything are excellent vehicles. I've had twe over the years.. both were sold with excesses of 300,000 miles and running fine. Nothing but brake pads, clutches and wiper blades the whole time I owned them.

Answer 5

no way they try to sell you this stuff -- comissions is all they want as most cost $$$$ and if there is a return just small $$
