Acura Upgrades Pre-Owned Vehicle Program

    TORRANCE, Calif., April 7 Acura announced an improved
pre-owned vehicle program available exclusively at Acura dealers throughout
the United States starting today.  The new Acura Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle
program raises the inspection criteria and warranty coverage above the
previous Acura Preferred Pre-Owned Vehicle program level making it one of the
most comprehensive Certified Pre-Owned programs in the industry.
    "With significant increases in inspection and warranty, the new
certification program affords pre-owned car buyers a greater sense of
security," said Dick Colliver, executive vice president, Acura Division.
"These measures will help ensure an excellent Acura ownership experience, even
the second time around."
    The previous 75-point inspection has been replaced by a more stringent
150-point inspection, covering virtually every mechanical system, from engine
to door locks.  Fit and finish, inside and out, are carefully inspected.  The
new program continues to provide a 12 month/12,000 mile limited warranty on
top of any existing new vehicle warranty along with Customer Care Benefits,
including roadside assistance.  In addition, Certified Pre-Owned customers
will now receive a powertrain warranty which provides 7-year or 100,000-mile
protection from the original new car date of purchase.  The limited warranty
offers this extensive coverage with no deductible and can also be transferred
with the vehicle.
    Acura offers a full line of premium performance vehicles, including the
mid-engine NSX exotic supercar, the 3.5 RL flagship luxury sedan, the best
selling 3.2 TL luxury performance sedan, the all-new 3.2 CL luxury performance
coupe, and the fun-to-drive Integra sports coupe and sports sedan.
