Hey guys - I've been in the market for an S7 and wanted some current owners personal input on if you were to buy a used Audi S7. Would you consider leaning on purchasing a used S7 with or without a warranty.

Basically I've been watching two S7 models;
One is fully equipped with all the options I'd want but it has no warranty.
The other vehicle doesn't have a few options that I preferred but it does have a warranty at a $6k higher cost.

I'm trying to justify if paying a $6k premium for a warranty/piece of mind but with those savings i could easily cover any serious vehicle troubles later down the road.
Every vehicle I've owned has never had a warranty but none of them cost over $40k used so I'm trying to find some reason to convince myself to go one or the other direction.

The warranty vehicle is a CPO and both vehicles have around 50,000 miles.


Any advice to help me decide would be great!

Bump..

I am in the same situation and trying to figure warranty, which one or not at all.

Yesterday I purchased a 2015 S7 with 25k on the odometer and it is a CPO so this process is fresh in my mind. One thing to keep in mind with the CPO is how much time is left on the warranty as it starts from the vehicle's original in service date. If you only have a year or two, is that worth 6K? Of course the advantage of the CPO is that if you want a longer warranty through Audi the dealership will happily sell you a longer warranty for a longer time period; my car is almost 3 years since the in service date, for a measly $6k I could have extended the warranties out to 96 months or 100k miles. I passed but was given the line that "it will get more expensive over time if you don't buy it today. I passed, will take my chance and find a good independent shop.
