Car's Extended Warranty

ravemother

My RDX's manufacturer's warranty is about to expire. Then, I received an email from Acura telling that I could consider extending the warranty by another 4 years for about $500.

I am really struggling. So far my ride has no problem and I have been taking care of it (regular factory tune-up, etc). But, if I am not sure if whether the extension is worthy or not.

I plan to keep it for another 3 years or so.
I am a sprint type of driver, mainly city driving.

Any suggestion/opinion?

$500 for ANOTHER 4 yr?

go for it!!! that is dirt cheap for 4 yr old car!!

Man .. if that is a Land Rover, will be $6K ! lol

definitely go for it!!! dealer rate for checking anything is 80~100/hr+
and that would increase your car's resale value too, way easier to sell it off when you wanna sell it.

What does that $500 cover? Sound a bit low to me.

My warranty for 3 years cost about $1800, but I think I got my money back already as the repairs I've done through the dealer is quite a lot.

Very good deal!  Check details! Once repair, that $500 is worth!

Is that $500 a year??? $500 for 3 years sounds too cheap to be true!
If that's really $500...go for it!

Agree, check detail.
It might only cover change windshield fluid and routine check to find problems.

How much is the deductible?  Does it cover bumper to bumper or just powertrain?  What's covered and for how long?

if bumper to bumper coverage for four years for only $500 with low deductible, go for it.
my brother's er got engine fail at the 5th year and it cost much more than $500 for fixing it.
