Warranties?

[Vicious Lau]

so yup i got a new 03 Accord but anyone know naything about warranties? if i ask the dealer you kno what they will say is jus ya void void void but i mean is there anything you can do or what are the limitations?

if you add suspension does only your suspension warranty disappear? and so on?

thx for clearing things up

yup, if you do upgrades like lowering and you bring it in to the dealor and say there is a noise over bumps coming from my susp. guess what you'll have to pay for diagnosis

Check your warranty, it's different from manufacturer to manufacturer. I'm pretty sure that any modifications you make will void the whole thing. Actually, you'd be surprised at how the dealers handle warranty questions like that though - the warranty is completely administered by Honda itself. There is no cost incurred by the dealer, in fact, they bill Honda (which is why you'll see costs inflated on warranty bills sometimes). They charged Honda something like $800 to turn my rotors and fix my sunroof. Jeesh.

Anyway, sweet ride - it's a little low for my taste, especially with those wheels (are those 18's?), but it does look smooth.

That's a photoshop...I thought a pretty obvious one.

If you modify something...it should only void that part of the warranty. Like you said...you replace the spings and shocks, it'll void the warranty on the the suspension, but not the sunroof, etc. That would be rediculous.

i agree with the previous post. i got suckered in by my parents to buy the whole warranty, but if you modify something, just be ready to argue that it doesn't affect something else. check out www.sema.org ... they have some good information on warranties and what dealers can legally and can't legally do.
