Jun 30, 2025

Acura Certified vs. Acura Precision Used: Which Pre-Owned Acura Is Right for You?

Thinking about a pre-owned Acura? You’ve probably come across two labels that sound impressive, but what’s the difference between Acura Certified Pre-Owned (often called Precision Certified) and Acura Precision Used? Both offer Acura-quality reassurance, but they’re tailored to different needs and priorities. Let’s unpack each one so you can confidently choose the Acura that fits your lifestyle.

Acura Certified (Precision Certified): Premium Peace of Mind

Acura Certified Pre-Owned, also known as Precision Certified, is the top tier of Acura’s pre-owned offerings.

Key Highlights

  • Age & Mileage: Up to 6 years old, under 80,000 miles
  • Inspection: A rigorous 182-point check by Acura-trained technicians
  • Warranty:
    • 7-year/100,000-mile total powertrain coverage (from original in-service date)
    • 2-year/100,000-mile limited non-powertrain coverage (after new warranty expires)
  • Extras:
    • 2 years of Acura roadside assistance & trip-interruption perks
    • First scheduled maintenance free (12 months/12,000 miles)
    • 3-month AcuraLink trial and SiriusXM for vehicles so equipped
    • 7-day exchange policy, concierge services, and more

What this means for you: top-condition vehicles, high-mileage peace of mind, and many of the reliability perks of a new Acura- without the sticker shock.

Acura Precision Used: Value Meets Confidence

Enter Precision Used, offering Acura-certified quality for a wider range of used vehicles.

Key Highlights

  • Age: Up to 10 years old, mileage not restricted
  • Inspection: Thorough 112-point check by Acura technicians
  • Warranty:
    • 6-month/7,500-mile limited powertrain & non-powertrain warranty
    • 1-year/12,000-mile roadside assistance
  • Service: Complimentary oil change in the first year

Why go Precision Used? Ideal for buyers seeking an affordable Acura with solid protection- especially if you’re okay with a few more model years or slightly higher mileage.

Which Program Suits You Best?

  • Precision Certified is ideal if you want maximum protection, fewer than 80,000 miles, and a nearly-new Acura experience.
  • Precision Used offers great value if you’re open to older models and want certified quality- just with shorter coverage.
  • Both programs guarantee Acura-trained inspections, clean vehicle histories, and the option to add Acura Care® extended coverage for even more peace
