Acura Pre-Purchase Inspection

There are many benefits to purchasing a pre-owned vehicle, but it’s natural to want assurance that your vehicle is safe and reliable before you buy. With an Acura pre-purchase inspection, you’ll know you can count on your next pre-owned vehicle for many adventures to come.

These independent evaluations are performed by certified Acura technicians and cover both the cosmetic and the mechanical features of the vehicle. They start by inspecting the engine and transmission, along with the steering, brakes, and suspension systems. They’ll also check frame and body for any indications of damage from a previous accident.

Finally, the technician will look for signs of leaks and check the tech and safety features.

Acura Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Inspection

You may decide you want even more assurance when purchasing pre-owned. In that case, you’ll want to consider Acura Certified Pre-Owned vehicles.

In order to qualify for the program, these vehicles must be six years old or newer and must have less than 80,000 miles. They also have to pass an extensive 182-point inspection.
