Considering a certified pre-owned Acura? Shop great deals on CarGurus.

Acura offers certified pre-owned vehicles across two tiers: Precision Certified and Precision Used. The automaker authorizes its franchise dealers to inspect and certify used vehicles for sale under these guidelines for its certified preowned (CPO) program.

Acura vehicles must be from within the last six model years and have travelled less than 80,000 miles since its original in-service date to qualify for Precision Certified status. Precision Used status requires that vehicles be less than ten years with no mileage limit.

Precision Certified vehicles also undergo a 182-point inspection, and Precision Used vehicles undergo a 112-point inspection.

Warranties

Acura offers a powertrain warranty on every CPO vehicle it sells, as well as a non-powertrain warranty that has different levels of coverage depending on the vehicle’s age and mileage.

Precision Used vehicles include:

• A six-month/7,500-mile powertrain warranty
• A six-month/7,500-mile non-powertrain warranty

For Precision Used vehicles, the time limit for both warranties begin on the expiration of the vehicle’s original new-vehicle limited warranty, or on the date of sale of the vehicle if the warranty has already expired.

Precision Certified vehicles include:

• A seven-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty
• A two-year/100,000-mile non-powertrain warranty

On Precision Certified vehicles, the powertrain warranty’s time limit begins at the expiration of the new-vehicle limited warranty, or from the date of sale of the certified vehicle if the original warranty has already expired.

Perks

Roadside Assistance
Acura provides two years or 100,000 miles of roadside assistance on Precision Certified vehicles. Precision Used vehicles are offered with one year or 12,000 miles of roadside assistance. Roadside assistance includes:

• Emergency towing
• Flat-tire changes
• Batter jump-starts
• Emergency fuel delivery
• Lockout assistance

Acura also offers trip interruption expense reimbursement and a concierge service across both tiers of its CPO program.

Exchange Policy

Acura offers a seven-day exchange policy on Precision Certified and Precision Used vehicles. This means shoppers can exchange their certified Acura within seven days for another vehicle in the dealership’s inventory. However, the original vehicle must be in the same condition as it was when purchased, and it cannot have travelled more than 300 miles.
