The Certified Pre-Owned Audi Program: Details from a Pinellas Park area Audi Dealer

May 24, 2013

If you are thinking about buying a used Audi, you’ll be happy to learn about the exceptional Certified Pre-owned Audi program for buyers. It offers warranty coverage that rivals a new car purchase and a thorough inspection system that ensures the pre-owned Audi you buy is in great shape. Here is some information about the Certified Pre-owned Audi program from your Pinellas Park area Audi dealership:

Remaining New Car Warranties

If the pre-owned Audi you plan to purchase is still under the Audi New Car Limited Warranty when you buy it, then you are covered under the New Car Limited Warranty until it expires (4 years from original in-service date or 50,000 miles). When the new car warranty expires the Audi Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty kicks in.

Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty Coverage

The Audi Certified pre-owned limited warranty will provide coverage for your qualified Audi purchase for two years or 50,000 miles driven – whichever you reach first. The coverage will not extend beyond 100,000 vehicle miles, so if the used Audi you buy has 53,000 miles, your coverage will expire when you reach 100,000 miles even though you didn’t drive a complete 50,000 miles yourself.

The following repairs are covered under the Certified pre-owned limited warranty, but it is not an inclusive list so you should always ask an Audi service representative if a problem with your Audi Certified pre-owned vehicle is covered under a warranty before you assume it isn’t covered:

Transmission problems for automatic and manual transmissions
Suspension problems
Climate control and cooling system
Fuel system
Brakes
Engine problems
Final drive
Steering problems
Electrical problems

What is Not Covered by a Certified Pre-owned Limited Warranty

Not all repairs your vehicle may require will be covered under the limited warranty. Some common maintenance and repair needs that will not be covered may include:

Navigation system problems
Radio problems
Tires
Car accident damage
Cost of regular maintenance, such as oil changes or fluids
Items that experience normal wear and tear
Malfunctions or damages caused by lack of maintenance, neglect, misuse or alteration

Costs of Repairs Under the Audi Certified Pre-owned Limited Warranty

If your Audi requires a covered repair, the cost of the repair will be covered by the warranty. You will be responsible for paying an $85 deductible per visit to the Audi dealership service center. If the covered repair requires more than one visit to the dealership you will only pay the deductible once.
