I will probably get an extended service contract ...
... for both the MDX and the TL-S. We waited because we had already spent enough money at the time of purchase and wanted to postpone the warrant expenditure til later, which of course is easy to do.
As I recall on the old threads there was talk of a group purchase thru Tim. Did that ever go thru? If not perhaps we can reconsider and do it again. If it did perhaps sometime soon we can do it again?
Another reason we waited is because there are alternative plans to the one Acura offers. In fact our dealer recommends an alternative plan. So we wanted some time to research/study which plan to get.
I guess from the above three paragraphs it is apparent that I believe that an extended warranty is worth it. If you plan on keeping the car for many years and driving well past 50K miles then a warranty has a good chance of paying for itself. The VTM-4 is unproven in reliablity, and in Houston's heat A/C problems could happen, etc., etc.
