Default How Safe Is Buying A Non Audi Assured CPO Car?

Is it only official Audi dealerships that can offer Audi assured warranties? Can an Audi dealership take your car and certify it?

How safe is it to buy a car from a pre-owned dealership that isn't certified? I'm looking at a ming blue 2001 A8L with 50k miles for $31 without a warranty...

Default Re: Has anyone heard of Continental Warranty?

Located in Wilmington Delaware. This is the company the dealership would use if I bought it at the higher price with the warranty included.<ul><li><a href="http://www.continentalwarrantyinc.com">Continental Warranty</a></li></ul>

Default Non-Audi dealer?

Why buy their warranty? If you can't do it the way I suggested, and get AA, you should shop 3rd party warranties.

Default Re: Local Audi dealer says no

My local Audi dealer said no. I think they are just pissed I won't buy their car (a 2000 a8 for 31).

Continental Warranty is a third party. What other companies are out there that are any good? I could get the one they offer for relatively cheap packaged in with the car, versus several thousand from elsewhere. I think, I'm not sure.

Default Re: Where? I'm in Maryland

Sorry Banal. I'm in Appleton,Wisconsin (1/2hr South of Green Bay). I would be willing to help you in any way if it is something you would like more information on. The rarity of these cars makes one broaden their area of searches to find the right vehicle. The car is at VanDynHoven Audi, 920-749-3232 ask for Sean. Let me know if I can help.

They also have a '99 But it has 98k miles on it and their price is 26k-too high IMHO. Good Luck.
