Certification Process for Pre-Owned Vehicles

Buying a certified pre-owned Acura is a smart financial move if you desire the luxury of an Acura but have a budget to consider. When you buy a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, you'll drive away with a sense of financial savvy, knowing you've acquired a high-quality vehicle at a fraction of the cost of a new one.

Certified pre-owned Acura vehicles come with Acura's limited warranty coverage, and they must pass a multi-point inspection before reaching dealer lots. Even though they cost more than comparable non-certified pre-owned vehicles, they are still significantly cheaper than buying a brand-new vehicle.

Still, buying pre-owned vehicles can be overwhelming due to uncertainties about their condition and history. Understanding the certification process for pre-owned vehicles can ease these concerns. Bob Lindsay Acura experts can help you explore the process of certifying Acura Certified Pre-Owned vehicles. And when you're ready to purchase, visit our dealership in Peoria, IL, to explore available models and test drive one.
