Before buying a certified pre-owned vehicle, check out this explanation of the certified pre-owned program offered by Acura. This explains the warranty program for the manufacturer; how old the certified pre-owned vehicles are, and other benefits you can expect from the manufacturer’s certified pre-owned program.

Acura requires its vehicles receive a 150-point inspection before they can be certified.

  • All vehicles are under six years old and have less than 80,000 miles.
  • Every buyer receives a 12 month/12,000 mile limited warranty and a 7-year/100,000 mile limited powertrain warranty.

It’s possible to get a pretty good deal on a five-year old TL, for example, and get strong warranty coverage. Acura’s CPO vehicles having up to 80,000 miles on them are testament to the brand’s reliability.

The reverse calculator on the site is a handy tool for figuring out what you can afford based on down payment and monthly payments.
