Agree here...why I bought a used instead of new....longer coverage!! I think the time is 4-5 years.

Default Buy an S4 with warranty. Certified pre-owned Audi's have LONG warranties compared to brand new ones

also.
The S4 is reliable if you get a "good one". Thats my belief. People here seem to have either bulletproof ones or fragile ones. Also proper meintaneance and care(read:correct kind of oil nad cool down warm/up) is necessary to keep those turbos healthy.

yes, it's a used car, but most used cars don't have a 100,000 mile warranty.

So I guess I'd want to be able to look over all the service records for any problems relating to the turbos/engine? Would you guys suggest a turbo timer?
