Certified Pre-owned Honda Accord For Sale
Plaza Honda keeps HondaTrue Certified Accords on the lot at 2740 Nostrand Avenue. Here is what "certified" actually gets you, which tier fits the car you are looking at, and why the small step up from a regular used Accord is usually the easy call.
What "certified" actually gets you
A certified pre-owned Accord is not a dealer promise or a third-party plan bolted on after the sale. It is HondaTrue, Honda's own factory-backed program, which means the coverage comes from the manufacturer, not from us. Every certified Accord clears a 182-point inspection by factory-trained technicians, starts with a clean CARFAX or AutoCheck history, and is disqualified outright for a salvage title, flood or fire damage, odometer problems, or any structural repair. In other words, the worst cars never make it onto the certified lot in the first place.
The headline is the warranty. A HondaTrue Certified Accord carries a 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty measured from the car's original in-service date, with a $0 deductible on covered repairs, and it stacks extended bumper-to-bumper coverage on top. Your trade is the lever most people underuse against the price. Bring the car in for a number and we will appraise it whether or not you buy from us.

The two certified tiers, compared
| Tier | Typical vehicle | Inspection | Powertrain warranty | Added bumper-to-bumper |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HondaTrue Certified+ | Current or previous model year, under 12,000 miles — effectively near-new | 182-point | 7 years / 100,000 miles | Up to 5 years / 86,000 miles |
| HondaTrue Certified | Roughly the last five model years, over 12 months / 12,000 miles and under 80,000 miles | 182-point | 7 years / 100,000 miles | 2 years added on the original limited warranty, or up to 100,000 miles |
The tier is decided by the car, not by you: a near-new, low-mileage Accord lands in Certified+, while an older or higher-mileage one that still clears the bar is Certified. Either way the powertrain coverage is the same 7 years and 100,000 miles from the in-service date, which on most cars is a real extension past the original 5-year / 60,000-mile Honda powertrain warranty. If you are shopping a certified Accord, ask which tier the specific car qualifies for and we will show you the coverage in writing.
Certified versus a regular used Accord
Both sit on the same lot, and the right choice comes down to how long you plan to keep the car. A regular used Accord is the lower price up front, backed by our own inspection and reconditioning. A certified Accord usually runs on the order of a thousand dollars more, and for that step you get the manufacturer's 182-point inspection, the extended factory-backed warranty, roadside assistance, and the $0-deductible repairs. If you are keeping the car several years and want warranty peace of mind, certified tends to pay for itself the first time something covered goes wrong; if you are budget-first and comfortable with a shorter safety net, straight used is the value play. We will put comparable cars side by side and show you the price gap.
What makes it work here
Whichever certified Accord you land on, its footprint is what makes it a Brooklyn car. It turns tighter than any crossover, which is what saves a three-point turn on a side street walled in by double-parked cars. At roughly 57 inches tall it slides under the clearance bars at garages that wave away taller vehicles, and at about 73 inches wide it fits the narrow monthly stalls those garages charge a premium for. If the certified car you pick is a hybrid, the city is where it shines: regenerative braking turns every red light into recovered energy, so it is rated higher in town than on the highway, the opposite of almost everything else on the lot.
Worth saying plainly: no Accord came with all-wheel drive. On good all-season or winter tires it handles New York fine, but if all-wheel drive is non-negotiable, the conversation moves to a certified CR-V or another option elsewhere in Plaza Auto Mall.

Frequently asked questions
What does HondaTrue Certified mean?
It is Honda's factory-backed certified pre-owned program. To qualify, an Accord must pass a 182-point inspection by factory-trained technicians and start with a clean vehicle history, with no salvage title, flood or fire damage, odometer issues, or structural repairs. The coverage that follows comes from Honda, not from the dealer.
What warranty comes with a certified pre-owned Accord?
A 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty measured from the car's original in-service date, with a $0 deductible on covered repairs, plus extended bumper-to-bumper coverage on top of that. Certified Accords also include 24-hour roadside assistance for up to two years and a 3-day / 300-mile exchange policy. We confirm the exact coverage on the specific car before you buy.
What is the difference between HondaTrue Certified and Certified+?
Certified+ is the top tier, reserved for near-new cars from the current or previous model year with under 12,000 miles. Certified covers older or higher-mileage Accords, roughly the last five model years and under 80,000 miles, that still clear the inspection. Both carry the same 7-year / 100,000-mile powertrain warranty; the bumper-to-bumper terms differ, and the tier is set by the car, not by you.
Is a certified pre-owned Accord worth the extra cost over a regular used one?
The certified upcharge is often around a thousand dollars, and for that you get the manufacturer's 182-point inspection, the extended factory-backed warranty, roadside assistance, and $0-deductible repairs. If you plan to keep the car a few years, it usually pays for itself the first time a covered repair comes up. If you are budget-first and comfortable with a shorter safety net, a regular used Accord is the value play.
What years of Accord can be certified?
As a rule of thumb, HondaTrue Certified covers roughly the last five model years under 80,000 miles, and Certified+ covers current or previous model-year cars under 12,000 miles. Because the cutoffs move each year, the simplest answer is to ask which tier a specific Accord on our lot qualifies for.
When does the certified warranty start?
The powertrain coverage is measured from the car's original in-service date, meaning when it was first sold new, not from the day you buy it. That is why a certified Accord that is a couple of years old still leaves you with several years of powertrain protection.
Can I finance a certified Accord and put my trade toward it?
Yes to both. You can get pre-approved before you visit, and we will appraise your current car whether or not you buy from us. A current trade often covers a meaningful chunk of a certified Accord's price.
Does Plaza Honda deliver, and do you pick up cars for service?
Yes to both. We offer free delivery within 25 miles of our Nostrand Avenue showroom, which covers all five boroughs and much of Nassau County. Our service department also runs pickup and drop-off across the NYC metro area.
What is Plaza Auto Mall?
A family-owned Brooklyn dealership group that has operated on Nostrand Avenue since 1975. It brings five new-car brands together, Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, and Acura, along with certified pre-owned inventory from each and a multibrand used-car operation.
