Optional add-ons

SafeGap waiver

$950.00

If the vehicle is totaled and your insurance payout is less than the loan balance, the waiver covers the gap. You have 30 days to cancel for a full refund. Most auto insurers offer equivalent coverage for less — check your insurer first.

Extended service plan

Offered, not selected

Honda factory warranty is 3 yr / 36k bumper-to-bumper and 5 yr / 60k powertrain — at 36,678 miles you're inside powertrain. Third-party plans can be added later; declining at signing almost always saves money.
