jeych..Picked up my '02 black/touring yesterday and can feel that its going to be the best yet. I've had three Saabs(currently an '01 9-5)and the 1st two are going strong at 205k & 385k. I have high hopes that the X will be somewhere in the ballpark. I was thinking of the factory Acura warranty yesterday and tried to get the dealer to jump at an offer for a 7yr/100k for $900/$1000. There have been some posts the last couple of days about Acura warranties (7/100k) for $895 in LA and an offer of $800 in Delaware) My dealer about had a heartattack...said it couldn't be. . . He said he usually sells them for $1895 but would give it to me for $100 over his cost of $1325.
There are as many people who like the comfort factor of an extended policy as there are who say to put the $1400 in the bank and pay for a repair when the 4yr/50k is up. I know its not a Ford or Chevy but I'm thinking the CD changer could go out in 6 years and it would probably cost $500/600, or half of what the deaker wants now. I've seen a lot of old threads on this subject but am wondering what people are really paying now for the dealer genuine Acura extended Policy. Do you think the dealer was leveling with me that his cost was $1325 or is that the "invoice" price just like that of a car.
If you plan on keeping the X..I would try to get an extended policy.
ps..Put on the BSMs from Tim in about 15 min. today. Previous threads had great step by step directions and pictures.
