Used Acura Cars for Sale in Philadelphia, PA

Though it seems that the most Acura’s victory march legacy remained back in the mid 80-s when the Acura brand vigorously erupted to the American market, boldly biting off large chunks of the pie from European automakers, nowadays Acura is still one of the strongest and most beloved luxury car brands in the US. A Honda premium-class automobile manufacturing spin-off, Acura vehicles ensure their glory days thanks to superior engineering solutions, impeccable quality, and outstanding design.

Ever have taken an Acura for a ride? Regardless of the year and model, it’s always an excitement. Notorious Honda motorcycle and outboard motor manufacturers know how to engage you into a breath-taking driving delight. At the same time, you’re immersed in an Acura atmosphere of impeccable design, comfort, luxury materials, and cutting-edge digital functionality.

So, what if you’re really into finally getting an Acura vehicle for yourself? A new adorable Acura may turn out to be too pricey for your pocket. Needless to say, depending on the model, it may go up to $80000 and more, depending on the engine, gear, and interior modifications.

In situations like that, betcha turn your eyes towards Acura used cars. Here’s why:

• If an Acura vehicle is well kept over years of use, given the Honda's well-known quality and reliability, this 10- or 12-year old Acura might be a great buy of low-price and significant value gain.
• Certain Acura vehicle models and release years are better and more reliable than the other. It's good to know and use that information to avoid pitfalls and money-drain solutions that may seriously exhaust your wallet.

Are there any particular issues that may more likely to occur with used Acura cars? Keeping in mind that Acuras are sort of fancy Hondas, Acura vehicles are a kind of inherited Honda’s strong points and weaknesses. 

• Excellent and reliable engines, but automatic transmissions are a little bit on the weak side.
• Newer models have a so-called battery drain problem.  After the car engine cut off, electronic and electric systems continue to consume electricity even in off mode
• Sloppy fuse circuit. One fuse operates about 12 different electric and electronic devices, including an infotainment system. That issue is often related to the battery drain problem.
• Very rare or no supply, zero availability for certain spare parts, components, and assemblies. For example, the 3,7 L 300 hp Acura engine has proven to be very reliable. This is, in fact, a modified 3,5 Honda engine. Since these engines are reliable, they were not manufactured much in excess of the number of Acura vehicles built. That way, if your 2010 Acura SH engine goes out for some reason, there is no engine available to replace it.
• Acura vehicles are virtually stuffed with electronic, digital, and electric systems. Not all of them have proven 100% reliable. Make sure to check all of them before you buy a used Acura car.
• Tailgate computer issue. This one has a higher degree of probability to occur than the rest of the possible electronics failures.
• Propeller shaft issue. Sometimes not easy to discover, therefore, check with your mechanic on that one.
• Some Acura TLs tend to have a squealing noise when you start it in cold weather.
• Body parts like the front bumper are really hard to take off for service or repair.
• Oil consumption may go out of hand on 3.5 v6 and 3.7 v6 engines. The manufacturer is aware of the issue and runs a special recall program for repair and oil cost compensation.
• Particularly loud intake sound on some Acura models.

Older Acura models tend to be easier to maintain. The reason is a lot of electronics and digital devices onboard later Acura models. 10-15 years ago, the only serious Acura issue deemed a financial risk to an owner was a transmission failure. Now it seems that electronics outages have been added to the list. Other than that, Acura vehicles don’t really have serious issues, only minor ones.

Most of the Acura spare parts are generally easy to get. They’re not very expensive. Acura services and certified technicians are pretty much thoroughly presented throughout North America.

Some of the parts and assemblies for certain Acura models are either very expensive, hard to get, or not available at all. This is especially true for some engine models.

To sum up, used Acura cars have a low-to-medium cost of maintenance which is really affordable for caring and neat owners.
