Why Georgia Drivers Choose Certified Pre-Owned Acura Vehicles

How Does a Pre-Owned Acura Become Certified?

The CPO program is not available to all used models with the Acura logo. To become fully certified, the vehicle must belong in the present Acura lineup. It must be less than six years old and have less than 80,000 miles on its odometer. With those guidelines met, it'll be time for the mandatory CPO inspection. A factory-trained Acura service technician will follow a 182-point checklist to inspect the entire vehicle, from the undercarriage to the cabin to under the hood.

  • Windshield and Wiper Blades
  • Headlights and Fog Lights
  • Front Doors and Side Mirrors
  • Suspension
  • Power Steering
  • Brake Lights and Taillights
  • Engine and Transmission
  • Water Pump
  • Radiator and Alternator
  • Coolant Hoses
  • Air Filters and Fluids
  • Floor Mats and Seatbelts
  • Tires & Wheels
  • Brake Pads, Rotors and Calipers
  • A/C Compressor and Condenser
  • Bumpers and Fenders
  • Headrests and Carpet
  • Glove Box and Cupholders
  • Navigation System
  • Dashboard Controls

Another big part of the inspection is the road test. We'll drive around Columbus in the soon-to-be-certified Acura RDX and listen for strange sounds and feel for any inconsistencies in handling, steering, and braking. If any checkpoint doesn't adhere to our high standards, we'll recondition or repair it with genuine OEM parts. Once it passes the required inspection, it'll go on sale in our certified pre-owned Acura inventory.

Warranty Protection for Certified Pre-Owned Acura

The biggest difference between used and certified pre-owned models is the warranty coverage. The Acura Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Limited Warranty will include seven-year/100,000-mile protection for the powertrain. Another form of protection is Roadside Assistance, which will have your back in the worst scenarios. If you need a jumpstart, fuel delivery, have a flat tire, need a tow, or get locked out, we'll be there for you in a heartbeat.

If you buy a used Acura, you will not have these same benefits. Do you want to enjoy the peace-of-mind protection for trips to The National Infantry Museum in Columbus, GA? If you want a dependable vehicle that looks and performs like new, upgrade to CPO at your local Acura dealership.
