Considering an A4 CPO loaner car...what should I watch out for?
Considering a 2018 A4 CPO loaner car with under 7K miles on it.
I know there are pros and cons to considering this type of car...
What what would you want to know from the dealership?
I'm thinking for sure getting all the service records for the car.
Anything else? Any opinions on this?
Thanks all.

So far the B9 seems very robust car, first service is 10k mi so not much there.
Make sure they transfer/activate the MMI stuff for you.
Research what the dealer is paying for trade-in's, first year depreciation is in the 30% range so negotiate price from there. Maybe negotiate for Audi Care included.

2018 A4 B9 CPO loaner here. Love this car. It’s very solid and at those miles there isn’t much to research outside of Carfax (which will likely be boring).
However, If I was to grade my negotiating on this car I’d give myself a D. I’m typically very good at negotiating cars but I was out-gamed on this one. So my only advice would be to walk away if you need to and not get enamored by the car (and do what I did which was to let them see it).
The other thing would be to check out the tires and find out how long the car was sitting. Some reports of flat spotted P7’s out there. Good luck!

When I bought my 2018 CPO dealer loaner with 4200 miles last July I paid 29% off MSRP. They gave me 6 months of complimentary Audi Connect and a trial for Sirius XM as well. 9 months later I still have Sirius XM that I haven't paid for so I'm not sure how long the 'trial' is.
PS: I have had no issues with the car other than the normal stupid/broken Audi software: Phantom "proximity" alerts and emergency braking for nonexistent obstacles, and changing the stereo 'mode' when the car is turned off.
