check this out!

I had a MAJOR oil leak, so i took it in. It has 67K on it, and I was kinda scared. The cam valves were leaking, so I needed to get a new timing belt and a buch of other crap. Thanks to my extended warranty, its only 100$ installed for everything! (LOL, LAST TIME IT WAS 100$ FOR A NEW SS TRANNY, AFTER THAT BLEW!) By the way, if im still under warranty when this ss tranny blows, can i swap for some extra $$, or will they tell me to buzz off?

It really depends on what dealership you bring it to. The usual honda dealer I bring mine too is a bunch of jerks. They won't cover anything. While the other dealership on the other side of town will. As for swapping out the SS tranny if it goes good luck. I highly doubt they will do it, actually I'm almost sure they won't.

yea warranty has covered a lot of things for my car:

new ss tranny
replaced pulleys
oil pan gasket leak
condensation in taillights
fixing radius rod when it came loose which pushed my tire back in the wheel well

i wonder why u have to pay $100 all my stuff was free

oh yea and half of these were done while i had my intake in

Well hot damn, lucky you... Check out my problem, HELP! Engine problem under warranty! What should I do?

You had a free tranny and other stuff and I can't even get 2 dealers to replace my timing belt

You know what. I have noticed that problem too. I have a weird sound coming from the engine around 2600 RPM.
I will go around dealers and see if they will fix it for me. I'll let you how it goes

I purchased the lude ~1yr ago used. I got the extended 48000 warranty. It has 100$ deductible,but its better than thousands. The dealers here are cool with me because I reccomend many families to get a honda from them. They know this, and respect me. Im a firm believer in being and a$$ kisser to the right people!

actually im on an extended warranty....got my car at 51k, its at 62k now...i wonder why i dont have a deductable??? oh well im not complaining

bcuprelude · 12-24-2002, 11:24 PM

lol, good point. i have my parents pay for all my car sh**. They bought that car for me since my college is basically free b/c of a soccer scholarship.

. Oh well, my rents owe me, so I dont really care how much the price is when I head into the dealership! Johnson County pride baby! 3rd richest district in the nation! LoL, but im not a snob, like most people. Most people consider the lude a very slow car, and drive beamers to school everyday.

I bouhgt mine 2 months ago with 85k on it, I bought a full drivetrain warranty for $800, for 3 years/36,000. $25 deductable. A couple weeks ago my engine started eating oil at 1 qt per 400-500 miles. looks like that could be the best $800 I ever spent, I find out tomorrow whats wrong...
