Why Buy a Certified Pre-Owned Acura in Peoria

Buying a car is a big decision, but it doesn’t have to mean choosing between affordability and luxury. At Bob Lindsay Acura in Peoria, IL, we believe Certified Pre-Owned Acura vehicles offer the best of both worlds. With Acura’s unmatched attention to detail, thorough inspection process, and premium benefits, choosing a Certified Pre-Owned Acura means stepping into ownership with confidence.

If you’ve ever asked yourself why buy Certified Pre-Owned Acura, the answer starts with trust, value, and long-term peace of mind. Here’s everything you need to know.

What Is a Certified Pre-Owned Acura?

A Certified Pre-Owned Acura is not just any used car. Each vehicle in the Acura Precision Certified program has been thoroughly inspected, reconditioned, and approved by Acura dealership technicians using a rigorous inspection process. Only model Acura vehicles from recent years with low mileage and a clean history are eligible for certification.

There are three main certification tiers:

• Acura Precision Certified: 2020–2025 model year Acura vehicles with less than 80,000 miles.
• Acura Precision Certified EV: 2024–2025 Acura electric models under 80,000 miles.
• Acura Precision Used: 2015–2025 vehicles with no mileage limit, but still reconditioned and held to Acura’s high standards.

What Makes the Certification Process So Reliable?

The Certified Pre-Owned process is led by Acura dealership technicians who complete a 182-point inspection that covers every detail of the vehicle, from its mechanical systems to its fit-and-finish and interior electronics.

The rigorous inspection includes:

• Powertrain Performance and Fluids
• Suspension, Brakes, Steering, and Tires
• Climate Control and Electrical Systems
• Interior Trim, Upholstery, and Features
• Exterior Paint, Glass, and Body Panels
• Advanced Technology Systems and AcuraLink® Integration

If any part doesn’t meet Acura’s exacting standards, it’s repaired or replaced before the vehicle earns its certification.

Acura Warranty Coverage: What’s Included?

One of the top reasons to choose a Certified Pre-Owned Acura is the comprehensive warranty coverage. Every Precision Certified Acura comes with a manufacturer-backed warranty that protects your purchase for the long haul:

• Powertrain Coverage for 7 Years or 100,000 Miles
• Non-Powertrain Limited Warranty Coverage for 2 Years or 100,000 Miles
• High Voltage Battery Coverage for 8 Years or 100,000 Miles on EVs
• $0 Deductible for Covered Repairs
• Transferable Warranty Coverage if You Sell the Vehicle

This warranty protection ensures you're not stuck with unexpected repair bills soon after purchase.

What are the Benefits of Acura Roadside Assistance?

Acura doesn’t leave you stranded. Acura Roadside Assistance is included for 2 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. It includes:

• Emergency Towing
• Battery Jump-Start
• Flat Tire Change
• Emergency Fuel Delivery
• Lockout Assistance

So whether you're on your daily commute or a road trip, you're backed by Acura’s support network nationwide.

Does Acura Offer Additional Program Benefits?

Absolutely. With a Certified Pre-Owned Acura from Bob Lindsay Acura, you also receive Acura Concierge Service and Trip Interruption Expense Reimbursement. If you're far from home and your vehicle breaks down, Acura will help arrange alternate travel or lodging and reimburse certain expenses.

Other additional program benefits include:

• 7-Day Exchange Policy if You Change Your Mind
• Complimentary Service on Your First Maintenance Visit
• Access to Insurance Claims Assistance
• Eligibility for Acura Care® Extended Coverage

These added protections give you even more confidence in your purchase.

What Is a Complete Vehicle Dossier?

Transparency matters. Every Certified Pre-Owned Acura model comes with a Complete Vehicle Dossier, which includes:

• A Verified Vehicle History Report
• Details of the 182-Point Inspection
• Ownership and Service Records when Available
• Warranty Booklet with Start of Coverage Dates

This makes it easy to know exactly what you’re getting, and why you’re getting one of the best certified programs in the luxury segment.

Why Buy Certified Instead of New or Used?

When you buy a new vehicle, you get the latest model year and that new car smell, but you also face higher depreciation and a larger upfront cost.

When you buy used vehicles that aren’t certified, you might get a lower price, but you lose out on warranty coverage, roadside assistance, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your vehicle was inspected by Acura-trained experts.

A Certified Pre-Owned Acura gives you the middle ground. You get:

• Luxury Vehicle Quality
• Lower Purchase Price than New Acura Models
• Warranty and Maintenance Coverage
• Real Ownership Confidence
