Audis are known for being cars of exceptional quality with regards to their having the most advanced technology, durability and finish. Because of this, buying a used Audi can be a sensible proposition, particularly when the vehicle has previously had its bodywork, engine, interior and electrics rigorously checked, has previously passed detailed road tests, and has a detailed warranty.
