Thanks for the advice! I didn't even notice the push start wasn't on the S4 with lower milage.....that would annoy me as I have it in my current Audi.

Would you be concerned with buying an S4 with 59k miles?

No concerns . Or at least not much. Mine with 72k runs like a top although I am waiting for the T stat to fail.

If it were me, i would really try to find a b8.5
mmi is much better, also Bluetooth streaming audio, and less dated looks.

Audi will CPO cars that have less then 60k miles. 59k is right at the line. Dealer will have to evaluate the car to see if they can pull it off or not.

Because it's so close to 60k unfortunately they are unwilling to certify

Do you know if Audi will CPO a car that is not purchased directly from them and if so what is the requirements?

I have had both a B8 and a B8.5 . currently driving a B8. Although there are some extra perks on the B8.5, the driving experience is the same. And No, an Audi dealer cannot certify a car they did not sell. But you can buy an aftermarket extended warranty

I just got a 2012 S4 Prestige in December with the Sports Diff.
I was disappointed with the lack of blue tooth streaming but the
ViseeO WMA3000A Wireless Bluetooth Music Interface Adaptor fixed that very easily and is simple to use. My phone connects automatically.
Don't worry about the bluetooth streaming, do worry about the rear sports diff.
Good luck

Default 2 cents on two senses: Beastmode

Look at it this way: An S4 without the sports diff is a beast; one with it is a BEAST.
