What Does it Mean to Shop Certified Pre-Owned Acura?
If you're from around Saint Augustine or Orange Park and have been burned from the uncertainty of used car buying in the past, it's time to see what certified pre-owned is all about. While we typically think of car shopping in terms of new versus used, certified pre-owned represents a third option that fits snuggly between the two markets.
What is a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Vehicle?
A certified pre-owned vehicle is a used model that is typically a newer model year that has been thoroughly inspected and refurbished to be like new. It must meet a strict set of criteria based on the manufacturer, and it comes with many benefits you can't get in other markets.
What are the Benefits to Choosing a Certified Pre-Owned Acura?
Extended Warranty
Acura is one of the best manufacturers to buy certified pre-owned vehicles from as they are incredibly specific in what they look for. For Ponte Vedra Beach drivers who do choose to go with a certified pre-owned Acura, you'll instantly have access to a customer-friendly warranty. For Jacksonville drivers that like to get around, this is great news.
The first tenant of the warranty is powertrain coverage, which extends the previous coverage for seven years or 100,000 miles. Then there is the non-powertrain warranty coverage, which is good no matter if the Acura's New Vehicle Limited Warranty is still in force from the previous owner. If so, you'll get an extension of up to two years after the original warranty expires or up to 100,000 total miles on the odometer- whichever occurs first.
Acura Care Motor Club
The second pillar of the Acura Certified Pre-Owned program is that you become an Acura Care Motor Club Partner. It's a rich program stocked full of exclusive benefits, some of which are brand new.
Being an Acura Care Motor Club Partner means you'll have emergency roadside assistance, reimbursement for rental cars and trip interruption expenses, concierge service, and three free months of SiriusXM Radio. Benefits of the Acura Care Motor Club last 24 months or 100,000 miles.
Also new to the Acura Care Motor Club is a three month trial of AcuraLink. AcuraLink allows drivers to connect their Apple or Android device to their Acura and access features such as Amazon in-car package delivery, vehicle health reports, automatic collision notification, and remote start.
First Scheduled Maintenance
You'll also get your first scheduled maintenance free of charge. Service items that are covered include an oil and filter change, tire rotation, air intake, and cabin air filter swaps, and fresh rear differential and brake fluid.
What are the Requirements for an Acura Car or SUV to be Certified?
For an Acura vehicle to qualify for the certified pre-owned program, it must meet a very specific set of criteria. The first is that it must be no older than six model years and have less than 80,000 miles left on the odometer. The second is that it must pass a rigorous 182-point inspection by a factory-certified technician as well as undergo a Vehicle History Report review.
Can I Lease a Certified Pre-Owned Acura?
The simple answer to this question is, yes you can. In fact, leasing a certified pre-owned Acura is a great way to get better value month to month on an elite luxury vehicle such as the Acura ILX or the Acura MDX. That's because monthly payments for leasing compared to financing are lower, meaning you'll have more wiggle room in your budget to enjoy your Acura your way.
