I'm considering an '05 Accord EX (4-cyl.). In your opinion, would an extended warranty be worthwhile or worthless?

Thanks,

Sometimes you get a warraty that covers up to say, 100k. Now, if you get that warranty at 95k you might have just gotten yourself a very expensive 5k warrany. Point is, read the fine print, always.

No offense, but what the hell are you talking about?

There is something called "Honda Care". It is not the factory warranty that comes with the car. It is something that can be purchased at the local dealership for used cars or a car you already own. It is a 100k warranty. However it expires when the car turns 100k, not 100k from the time of purchase.
