Default Debating purchase

Found a 2018 etron on marketplace but it was a lemon. The guy claims it’s been fixed. Does Audi truly fix these? I see it’s had the fuel tank replaced, cooling lines replaced?,airbag computer/module reprogrammed, and computer reprogrammed twice. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...r&__cmr=1&_rdr

I think that you are referring to the Q3 etron which is a plug in hybrid. Here is a link to the Q3 forum as it sounds like your questions refer to the ICE component. But to answer your question about lemons, yes Audi does buy back lemons, repair them and resell them. They are repaired to Audi's original standard. You need to ensure that meets the fix that the first customer complained about.

For the new etron, a great deal of the lemon complaints resulted in new batteries or front motors being installed and then re sold.
