Frequently Asked Questions About Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles in Brooklyn, NY


Shopping for a vehicle in New York often leads to a big question: Should I get a new vehicle, a pre-owned vehicle, or a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle? At Acura of Brooklyn, we get a lot of questions regarding what makes a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle different from new or used and why it’s a great choice for Brooklyn drivers. For your convenience, we've compiled some helpful answers to the most frequently asked questions about Certified Pre-Owned vehicles in Brooklyn, NY.

Q: What is a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle?

A Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is simply a pre-owned car or SUV that has undergone comprehensive inspection, reconditioning, and approval under the manufacturer's certification program. Certified vehicles adhere to more stringent age, miles, and condition requirements than standard pre-owned vehicles. From Acura’s perspective, this translates to:

  • Under five years old (Precision Certified) or under 10 years old (Precision Used).
  • Fewer than 80,000 miles (Precision Certified) or unlimited (Precision Used).
  • Passed a 182-point inspection covering everything from the powertrain to interior details.
  • Comes with a factory-backed warranty.

Q: Why Should I Buy Certified Pre-Owned Instead of Regular Pre-Owned?

The primary distinction is peace of mind. With a certified Acura, you know it has gone through a vetting and reconditioning process with genuine Acura parts. There are warranties, roadside assistance, and complimentary maintenance that most pre-owned vehicles lack. You're getting the best of both worlds - value and confidence.

Q: What Warranties Come with a Certified Pre-Owned Acura?

When you buy a Certified Pre-Owned Acura in Brooklyn, you’re covered by:

  • 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty starting from the original in-service date.
  • 2-year/100,000-mile limited non-powertrain coverage that begins after the expiration of the original new-vehicle warranty (Precision Certified).
  • 24/7 roadside assistance for added security.

These warranties are transferable if you sell the vehicle, which also helps with resale value.

Q: Can I Finance a Certified Pre-Owned Acura?

Yes! Financing a Certified Pre-Owned Acura is simple at Acura of Brooklyn. We work with local and national lenders to secure competitive rates. In many cases, Certified Pre-Owned models qualify for special financing offers direct from Acura. You can also use your trade-in to lower the cost of your next vehicle.

Q: Are Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles More Expensive?

A Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is typically more expensive than a regular pre-owned vehicle due to the additional inspection, reconditioning, and warranty process. Still, it is significantly more affordable than a new vehicle. Many drivers in Brooklyn consider the added peace of mind to be well worth the difference.

Q: Do Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles Maintain Their Value?

Because Certified Pre-Owned vehicles are inspected, carry a warranty, and are sold by authorized dealers, they generally retain their value better than standard pre-owned vehicles. If you plan to trade or sell it, you will likely see more return on your investment down the road.

Q: How Does Acura of Brooklyn Inspect Certified Vehicles?

We check major systems like the engine, transmission, and suspension, along with smaller details like seat stitching, tech functionality, and even the condition of the tires. If something doesn’t meet Acura standards, it’s repaired or replaced before certification.

Q: Can I Lease a Certified Pre-Owned Acura?
