Honda Acura CPO warranty

Honda CPO warranty

The U.S. economy is slowing down and it’s affecting used car sales. In addition, used car prices are higher than most buyers anticipated. Depreciation is also falling faster on new cars. To combat the slow sales of used cars Honda CPO car warranty is being reworked (CPO=Certified Pre-owned). Honda and Acura CPO used cars will now have a second tier of protection that includes roadside assistance and oil changes. Acura CPO vehicles will also include free scheduled maintenance.

The new Honda CPO warranty program is called HondaTrue Certified and Acura Precision Certified.

The HondaTrue Certified program included 12 months or 12,000 miles of coverage beyond the non-powertrain warranty (3-years or 36,000 miles). The new “Plus” tier includes an additional 23-months or 50,000 miles of coverage on top of the factory warranty. However, the Plus warranty is only available on used cars with less than 12 months or 12,000 miles on the odometer.

Acura’s Precision Certified program extends the nonpowertrain warranty period from to 24 months and 50,000 additional miles of coverage. That means a certified Acura is covered for six years from the date of the original purchase or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Acura also added a free scheduled maintenance with oil change, tire rotation, fluids and filters.
