Sorry to bring this thread back.... Just purchased a 2017 CRV Touring (paid cash) and I am considering buying the Honda Care warranty since this vehicle is completely new line with many electronic parts. Looks like about $1000 for 8 year 120K mile plan. I have had mixed experience with Honda, have ...

Mrxyz

I would get the warranty, just consider it as part of the price of buying the car and peace of mind....... Of course, I presume you are not stretching your finances to buy this warranty.

ME's not had their $1000 bonus for $200k for quite a while now. Will certainly contact a rep next time time about matching something, myself.

They matched it to $250K and not $200K.
