Honda Extended Auto Warranty

National Repair Solutions | Extended Vehicle Service Contracts seemed legit.

i never buy extended warranties. and for a car as reliable as the fit, would be a big waste of money...especially for those that work on cars.

also you can buy it at the end of your manufacturer warranty term if you decide to keep the car longer. no need to get rushed into extended warranties.

I hate spam. No matter how it's prepared.

edit: latest spammer splatted. Thanks mods! It's ok to keep Scott around to mock.

While touring the threads he spammed up I came across this one on Cecil's Straight Dope board. It's classic:

The entire conversation with a car salesman should consist of:
1. That one.
2. Here's a check.
3. No.
4. Repeat 3 until you're allowed to drive away.

It sounds like this may not be necessary, as Honda has such a good reputation for reliability, but I don't know. This is my first brand new car. I can still repeal my decision and get a refund for the Honda Care. What say you?
Hondas don't need extended care ripoff waranties. The best aftermarket warranties came from a RI dealer who sold them at $450, Read Consumer Reports rundowns of warranty experiences.
