Why Precision Certified Makes Sense for a First Luxury Car V
Acura sets firm limits for its Precision Certified tier. Each vehicle is 6 years old or newer from its original in-service date, has 80,000 miles or fewer at delivery, and is checked by an Acura Certified Technician against a 182-point inspection, with a report you can download.
Acura's 7-day exchange applies as long as you have driven no more than 300 miles past the purchase mileage. For resale down the road, Acura points to Kelley Blue Book naming the Integra a 2026 Best Resale Value winner in the Luxury Compact Car category.
- 6 years old or newer from original in-service date
- 80,000 miles or fewer at delivery
- 182-point inspection by an Acura Certified Technician
- 7-day exchange, 300 miles or less over purchase mileage
- Integra: 2026 KBB Best Resale Value award, per Acura

What Precision Certified Coverage Includes V
Powertrain coverage lasts 7 years or 100,000 total miles on the odometer, counted from the original in-service date rather than the day you buy. Non-powertrain protection runs two years or 100,000 total miles on the odometer and carries no deductible: it starts at your purchase if the new-vehicle warranty has expired, or picks up when that warranty ends and runs up to 6 years or 100,000 miles from in-service. It transfers between private parties.
Roadside assistance runs 2 years or 100,000 miles and covers fuel delivery, jump-starts, lockouts, flat-tire changes and towing. Trip-interruption reimbursement applies to breakdowns more than 100 miles from home, rental reimbursement is included, and the first scheduled maintenance is complimentary for 12 months or 12,000 miles from delivery (on 2025 and newer models, once the new-vehicle maintenance program ends).
- Powertrain: 7 years/100,000 miles from in-service date
- Non-powertrain: 2 years/100,000 miles, no deductible
- Coverage transfers between private parties
- Roadside assistance for 2 years/100,000 miles

The Acura Graduate Offer on Precision Certified Vehicles V
Acura's Precision Certified Graduate savings apply to all Precision Certified vehicles when AFS provides the financing or lease, limited to one per vehicle, with an end date Acura sets for each version of the offer. The Precision Used tier, which covers Acuras 10 years old or newer with 6 months or 10,000 miles of coverage, is not eligible.
Buying new instead? The separate Acura Graduate Offer covers eligible new Integra, ADX, RDX and MDX models from the 2025 model year on, again through AFS. It goes toward capitalized cost reduction on a lease or the down payment on a purchase, and Zero Due at Signing leases are excluded. Pre-qualify online to see where you stand.
- Savings on all Precision Certified vehicles
- Financed or leased through Acura Financial Services
- One graduate offer per vehicle
- Acura sets the current end date
- Precision Used vehicles not eligible

Graduate Eligibility and Paperwork V
Acura's graduate terms reach back two years and forward six months: the degree must have been earned in the past two years or be due within the next six, and it can be a doctorate's, master's, bachelor's or associate's from a U.S.-accredited college or a registered nursing school. Proof is a copy of your diploma or college transcripts, and you must be the primary buyer.
The Precision Certified version asks you to give the dealer the required credit and education documents. For the new-vehicle Acura Graduate Offer, Acura also lists AFS criteria that may apply: no adverse credit history, proof of employment or a verifiable firm commitment from an employer with a start date no more than 120 days from the AFS contract date, and income sufficient for your obligations plus the payment. Submit the finance application when you are ready.
- Degree earned in the past two years or due within six months
- Doctorate's, master's, bachelor's or associate's degree
- U.S.-accredited college or registered nursing school
- Diploma or college transcripts as proof
- Primary buyer on the AFS contract
- Credit and education documents for the dealer

Leasing or Financing Your First Acura V
AFS leases Precision Certified vehicles up to 6 years old with fewer than 80,000 miles, and those certified leases include GAP coverage. Precision Used vehicles cannot be leased, so a lease points you toward the Precision Certified inventory.
If you would rather own the car at the end, AFS retail financing is the other path, and the graduate savings apply to either one. Trading in the car you drove through school? Get a value online, then compare our lease offers and current specials.
