Certified Vehicles

We'll help you understand what makes certified used Acura models different from other pre-owned cars and what benefits they offer. Firstly, the title given to these models means that their mechanical components and amenities are in outstanding condition. To verify if this is the case, the Acura Certified Pre-Owned program mandates an 182-point inspection that examines these parts closely for major wear and tear. If you adopt any one of these models, you’ll receive a plethora of warranties for routine maintenance. One is the 7-Year1/100,000-Mile2 Powertrain Coverage plan which can assist when pieces of your powertrain, such as the cylinder block, seals, and other components, are in need of replacement. In tandem with service warranties, certified car owners receive a 2-Year/100,000-Mile Acura Roadside Assistance3 plan. This incentive helps if a mishap has you stranded 100 miles away from your home in Stafford overnight. If you needed to pay for a ride back to your residence or purchase food, we’ll offer you reimbursement for the costs of such expenses.

One-Owner Vehicles

A one-owner vehicle is another used Acura vehicle you can be happy inside when on I-95. Customers love one-owner vehicles, since oftentimes these cars were leased and returned without anyone else buying them afterward. Since it was under only one person's name and because of the short lifespan of this contract, there's not as much severe wear and tear. Plus, there is the benefit that you’ll find a smaller mileage showing on the odometer, so there’s an opportunity to drive it for a lot more distances. With all our used vehicles, you’ll see a detailed collection of background records in a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™. If there’s a deal-breaking factor you need to know about a used car, use this list to help you choose an Acura model.

Which Car Should I Choose?

When you're trying to figure out which vehicle is ideal, your budget is a huge determiner of what you should select. This is because a certified used Acura car is known for having higher price averages than one-owner models. So, perhaps you might spring for a one-owner model. However, for some, it is absolutely imperative that they have a car that has some officiality in its name, so the alternate selection would, in this case, be an ideal fit for their priorities. In addition, since one-owner cars are likely to have a smaller odometer, this is good news for you if you find yourself incessantly in need of a car.

I had a very blessed experience at the Acura Dealership this past week. I needed to get in and out due to an impending dental appointment for my son. My associate took the time to keep me appraised of the status of my vehicle and did a wonderful job in getting my work completed by the mechanic. I made my next appointment in a timely manner, it worked out. Thank you Acura Dealership, Marion Washington

Highly recommend them for your Acura service needs.

As a auto buying customer I have dealt with many different dealerships over the last 30 years of my life, in many different states, and I can absolutely say that Karen Radley Acura in Woodbridge Virginia is the best!!! Although they share the financial department with Volkswagen which can get busy on the weekends, but Everything else in the auto buying process is top notch. I’m expecting the service department is also very good from what I saw and heard as well.

Ian, the technician who set up the service for my car was thorough and professional. I
