Deal/Good price for Extended Warranty for Clarity now that it is Discontinued

The consensus on forums has typically been that the best extended warranty pricing involves checking the following dealers -
Saccucci Honda
Hyannis Honda
Curry Honda
College Hills Honda

I believe at least three of those have online quote calculators - all four should be priced fairly similar to each other though.

 

The discontinuance has no bearing whatsoever on the value of an extended warranty.

 

Might make aftermarket parts less likely, increasing the value of the warranty

 

What happens with an extended warranty when a replacement part is just not available?
They are certainly not going to restart a line in order to produce a replacement part. Is there a clause in these extended warranty contracts that addresses this scenario? Can they elect to pay you the fair market value of the vehicle if the repair cost exceeds the value of the vehicle (like totaling a car in an accident)?

 

I recommend Hyannis Honda. Price seemed very good. Easy to do online. Be aware that several items are covered by extended warrantees like the AC condenser and the battery.

 

This is a good question. I can imagine it says there’s no coverage if nobody can find parts.

 

There are laws that require auto manufacturers to have spare parts to cover warrantees. You can Google it and get various answers as to how long and it may depend on your state's laws.

There is a federal law:

"The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which went into effect in 1975, requires manufacturers to maintain parts for the term of the manufacturer’s warranty. The clock starts ticking when the last of a particular model leaves the assembly line."

I also found:
"Honda supports their vehicles for 15 years after they stop production. They have this as policy."

Of course you can always believe the internet.

 

In 2019, 13 years after I purchased my 2006 Insight, Honda couldn't supply a new set of shift-linkage cables (or a larger assembly that included these cables). My cables were so corroded by Michigan's winter road salt that it took all my might to operate the gearshift. Fortunately, I found a larger assembly with working cables from an auto recycler on ebay.
