Before buying a certified pre-owned vehicle, check out this explanation of the certified pre-owned program offered by Audi. This explains the warranty program for the manufacturer; how old the certified pre-owned vehicles are, and other benefits you can expect from the manufacturer’s certified pre-owned program.

An Audi can be certified pre-owned if it’s 5 years or newer and has less than 60,000 miles.

  • A factory-backed limited warranty with coverage for up to six years or 100,000 total vehicle miles.
  • The balance of the no-charge scheduled maintenance and the balance of the car’s 12-year Corrosion Perforation Limited Warranty, regardless of mileage.

    The warranty here is a little tricky.

    • It kicks in after the new car 4-year/50,000 mile warranty expires. It’s good for two years or 50,000 miles – whichever occurs first.
    • This warranty could work well if you put a lot of miles on your car.

    You can find out more information at Audi's certified pre-owned program website.
