Just purchased an extended plan on my Honda with 30,000 miles on it. If you search around with Google, you will likely find dealers that are selling factory plans at a deeper discount than your local dealer. In the past, I have taken the low internet price into my dealer and asked for a price match. This time around, I purchased from the low dollar, on-line seller.
This price match works if buying an insurance plan when the vehicle is new. There is a significant amount of mark-up on these plans and local dealers know this. When the discussion starts in the finance person's office when you are closing on your fancy new vehicle, it gives you some leverage if you have a printed quote with you. They also sell service plans on-line if you are interested in them.
Good luck, lots of good comments on this thread from others.
