Hello All,

Long time follower of this forum. I have been on the hunt for a used A4 Prestige (white with black optic) and I stumbled on this beauty.

Audi Exclusive A4 Prestige Quattro AWD.
Offered in Glacier White Metallic exterior with Classic Red interior accented by Piano Black trim.

Features include advanced key keyless access with push button start, leather sport seating, dual power front seats with driver's seat memory, heated front seats, Audi exclusive interior, dual zone climate control, navigation system with rear view camera, Bang & Olufsen premium audio, iPod adapter, Audi connect, Audi drive select sport suspension, sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, power sunroof, Bluetooth, Homelink garage door opener, adaptive Xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights, fog lights, Audi side assist, S line exterior trim, 19 inch 5 arm alloy wheels, and more. Just fully serviced and Audi Certified giving you an additional 2 year/50,000 mile warranty once your factory warranty expires.



I have been going back and forth with the dealer and they ended up with $41,831 (fair price on KBB was around this as well). I am now looking to factor in a trade in too (around $2k). Thoughts?

Also, I've read about the maintenance issues with this car (burning oil, brakes, etc). Are these isolated cases or just prevalent for the whole line? Just wanted to know what I should be on the lookout for. Even though this has the extended warranty, I assume there are certain items that just wont be covered.

Have an identical looking '15 Prem+ from the exterior. How much of the original warranty is left?

Oil burn is more prevalent in early builds with the 2.0T engine also in the Q5 not just A4 problem mainly the '09-'10 model years extending later by some reports. Starting in 2013 the engine was revised to accommodate flex fuel (only on automatic quattros), who knows if they changed anything else to address any potentially lingering oil problems. I would think you are probably fine, don't recall brakes being a major issue that or its overshadowed by oil issues.

Have you thought about waiting for the brand new 2016 Audi A4 to hit shores early next year?

I leaning more towards used. With this car the original factory warranty is 4 years/50,000 miles. One year has been used up with the warranty so including the new warranty that comes with the CPO it would be 5 years/100,000 mile warranty.

What model year? How many miles on it?

Is $41,831 out the door? I have a similar factory order that I received last month. It's a great car so far!

That's what they discounted the price down to. If you don't me asking, how much was your factory order?

What is the MSRP if new? Then you might want to gauge the "value".
High Content car with lots of amenities which usually depreciate faster.
Best values are in the Premium Plus area.
But, thats a great looking car and I love the red leather!!!! Your not paying new price and the warranty seems better than new. I guess your good to 50k miles!! No wait to order.
Waiting for new model? Might be a while and first year build is sometimes problematic. You'll also pay a premium for being the first on the block to have one! You might not even love the new design. I don't mind buying end of cylcle cars because usually the build quality is great and the bugs are worked out. I had a 2010 Avant that was burning oil bad by 60k. As mentioned, its been worked out. Audi has faired well in initial quality with the A4 doing very well for the reasons I stated.

Your getting a rare combo of packages. Red is very rare. Sometimes you pay for what you want.
