I get FREE Lifetime State inspections from my Acura dealer on both my cars.
I haven’t paid for an inspection since buying my first Acura back in 1991.

Is a 'state inspection' some kind of a New England thing and what's the point of it??? The only thing I have to do is get my emissions checked every two years.

Just curious...

Every year, you need to get a sticker in MA and NH. They check your emissions, headlights, blinkers, wipers, tires....yearly check to see if your car is roadworthy.

I guess there is no emission test for NH, however, as stated they check almost everything else...

Interesting...

I'm surprised they make you pay for something like this. The least they could do is eat the cost considering they screw you 100 different ways...

I didn’t negotiate anything.
That’s included with ALL new car purchases at Lehigh Valley Acura.
They provide pretty good “perks” like free car washes, 10% off parts/accessories, free loaner cars, referral cash and service discounts.

Cool deal. I thought the car washes (not that I want them scratching my car up), loaners, and parts discounts were for all Acura owners though.

Only if your car is registered in Harris County. My car is registered in Victoria County. I don't have to have the emissions test that is required here.
