Acura Roadside Assistance
• Stringent manufacturer mandated requirements to qualify as Acura Precision Certified, including: Less than 6 years old, less than 80,000 miles, accident free, must pass 182- point inspection. • Vehicles are refurbished to meet Acura’s criteria for Certified Vehicles. |
• Certified Pre-Owned vehicles come with warranties backed by the manufacturer. Traditional used cars rarely have warranties, and if they do, it will be issued through the dealer or a third party. • Certified Pre-Owned vehicles can redeem the benefits of their warranty at any authorized dealer, not just the dealer they purchased from. This is ideal if you travel or move. • Can include extra technology, safety, and service perks from the manufacturer in the purchase price. |
• Since the manufacturer has such extensive requirements for a vehicle to be certified, the manufacturer can offer very appealing financing (auto loan) options on CPOs that most used cars are not eligible for. • Certified Pre-Owned vehicles may be found with financing incentives (low APR’s, flexible loan lengths) similar to those found on new car deals. • Acura Precision Certified Vehicles have no deductible on warranty related service visits. |
