Acura Certified
Can someone give me a quick explanation on the Acura Certified..So if I buy a car from a non acura dealer, it wont be certified..And I would only get the warranty that is left on the car? And if it is certified, from the point you buy it, you get like 7 yrs 100,000 mile warranty...A bit confused one how all this works..Thanks

You were correct with everything you said, except the certified part is 7 years/100,000 miles from date of first registration, not from the day you buy it, and I think only covers the power train, while the original 4 year/50,000 mile warranty was bumper to bumper except for wear items.

IIRC, maintenance has to be through dealer service departments before certification is granted, so those Acuras that are maintained by the owner or non-dealer shops will not be certified when traded in and sold as used.

They run a bunch of test on the Car, if the car passes the tests it can be certified, if not then it will be on the lot without the certification...

Certified will give you the remaining factory warranty, plus the addition of 12 months/12,000. So you have a factory warranty 5 years 62,000 miles. A Certified vehicle will the take the coverage to 7 years 100,000 miles on the powertrain. I elected to add the $895 to take the bumper to bumper factory coverage to 7 years 100,000 miles. Can never tell about electronics.
Check out www.acura.com for all the info on a Certified vehicle.

Even if they furnish the parts and have their people do the labor, they must add this to their bottom line cost of the vehicle. FYI-The used car department will be charged the same as you for the parts/installation. I know this might sound unusual, but all departments within a dealership must make money, therefore the used car department on paper will be charged the going rate for the mentioned items and installation.
