Here's a list of the MSRP prices for Honda's extended warranties
The final prices will vary, of course, based on what you and the finance manager agree upon. I am fortunate that my store allows me to offer a set discount for customers that come in through my website, so they don't have to haggle for a good deal. We keep it simple, though.
You might be asking why the extended warranties start with a 3 year/45,000 mile coverage. That's for people who lease and do more than 12,000 miles a year, who still want to be covered under a warranty.
I personally get extra warranties on anything Im keeping for five years or more. Repairing cars are expensive and every year more and more computers are added, which the average American is simply not equipped, nor trained, to repair.
In the end, they kind pay for themselves. Example: a friend of mine purchased a used Honda Fit a few years ago. It was at a different store than mine, but I still helped her with the whole buying prices. They offered her the extended warranty. She asked me if this is something she should consider, which I insisted she take since she was planning to keep this car for many years.
Not long after owning the car her AC condenser went bad. While the car had less than 40K miles, these things can simply happen. There's no car brand that never breaks. Remember, every manufacturer has suppliers and it is expected that something can go wrong at some point.
Needless to say, the part alone was about $800 without the labor. She didn't have to pay anything because she had the warranty, which still covers her till this day.
Finally, in the chance that you do sell/trade in your car after a two or three years, you can call the warranty company and they will reimburse you the difference. In simple terms, if you paid for $1600 for a 6 year warranty and traded in the car after three years, the company will reimburse you the difference, which is about $800.
So if you are planning to keep your new Civic 5 years plus or drive a lot miles, get a warranty. It just makes sense, especially with all the new tech that the 2016 Civic offers.
