Audi Pre-Purchase Checklist

  • Research – Know what you’re looking for in terms of features, technology, and price. Visit Audi forums for owner reviews and visit websites that provide vehicle reviews of individual models and years.
  • Check prices – By comparing prices in and around your location can show a difference in prices.
  • Private seller – If you choose to purchase from a private seller, request that all receipts for repair, replacements, and maintenance be made available.
  • Vehicle history report – The report notes the number of owners, if it was leased or owned, mileage validation, and information about flood history or accidents.
  • Test drive – Put it to the test by taking a spin for an extended period along various routes to test performance and maneuverability.
  • Pre-purchase inspection – Before signing the contract, have the Audi inspected by a mechanic experienced with the brand.

Following a simple checklist can help ensure the Audi you purchase has everything you want and more.
