Buying a used Audi with the advantages of a new car

Did you think a Audi was out of your reach? That would mean you’re not familiar with the Audi selection :plus programme, with a range of used cars that come with the same guarantees as a new one, at a much lower price.

Accessing cars that exceed your budget when you look at new model prices is possible if you turn to the second-hand market. Above all, by taking advantage of the used vehicle programmes that more and more brands are offering. For example, the one offered by Audi selection :plus.

What is Audi selection :plus?

Audi Selection :plus is the pre-owned or used vehicle programme of Audi. With the Audi Selection :plus programme, the brand with the four rings makes available to customers a range of used vehicles that have been rigorously selected and have a verified history, which go through a complete inspection and validation process in which up to 110 points are checked by specialised staff. In this way, you can access a used Audi that comes with the same guarantees as a new model, at a much lower price.

With the Audi Selection :plus used car programme you can access a pre-owned car with the same guarantees as a new one, at a much lower price.

Other additional advantages of this programme, if the customer finances the purchase through the brand, include the option of taking out various services such as insurance, extended warranty extensions or maintenance through Audi fulldrive. The latter allows you to choose between different plans, so that the customer can enjoy their vehicle without worrying about maintenance, paying a monthly fee.

Among the current selection of vehicles in the Audi Selection :plus programme, the brand now offers interesting promotions on models such as the Audi A1, the Audi Q3, the Audi A4 and the Audi A6. Let’s review these models.

Audi A1 Sportback selection: Premium quality in a compact format

Now that the new generation of the Audi A1 is arriving, it is a good time to acquire an A1 Sportback from the outgoing generation at a very competitive price. The selection in the used vehicle programme includes various options for those looking for a Premium car in this segment, with prices starting from 15,300 euros thanks to the additional discount of 3,200 euros when financing the purchase with Audi Financial Services.

The more than 50 vehicles in stock of this model were registered between February and April 2018, so they are not even a year old since their registration date. There are options with very low mileage (from 2,600 up to 25,000 at most), and there is even the possibility of choosing a zero-kilometre vehicle. And you can choose between versions with the 1.6 TDI engine in its 95 and 116 CV variants, or the efficient 1.0 TFSI three-cylinder with 95 CV, almost all of them with the Adrenalin trim.

Audi A3 Sportback: practicality for everyday use

Up to 30 pre-owned Audi A3 Sportback are offered through Audi Selection :plus, with prices that give access to one of the most versatile Premium compacts on the market from 18,990 euros. In this case, all versions come with the 1.6 TDI engine in its 116 CV variant, and you can opt for models with manual or S tronic gearbox. In either case, it is a car that stands out for very low consumption, of 4 l/100 km.

There are many options available with less than a year since first registration, and mileages below 30,000 km. But you can also find models with even fewer, just 11,300 km.

Audi Q3: that SUV you dreamed of, now within reach

Another model from Audi that is being renewed is the compact SUV Audi Q3. And you can access the outgoing generation for less than 24,000 euros. In its last restyling, the Audi Q3 received an update in design, engines and equipment that make the brand’s SUV one of the most desirable cars in its segment, for its design, comfort, dynamic behaviour and safety.

Among the options available in stock you will find cars such as a Audi Q3 with the excellent 2.0 TDI engine of 150 CV and the complete Design Edition trim, registered in June 2017, with barely 2,645 km on the odometer. The price, 25,900 euros, drops to 23,700 euros when financing the purchase. It is just one example of the 50 Audi Q3 included in the current offer of Audi Selection :plus, where you can access a Q3 even for less than 24,000 euros. There are also versions with the excellent S tronic dual-clutch gearbox, or with the sporty Sport Edition trim.

Audi A4: the great traveller

With more than 90 options to choose from, you will hardly fail to find an Audi A4 that suits you in the pre-owned offer of the mid-size saloon from Audi. It is a selection of cars registered between May 2016 and April 2018, most of them with less than 25,000 km. Prices start from less than 22,000 euros for the older or higher-mileage versions.

The whole offer is based on the 2.0 TDI engine of 150 CV, perfect for a saloon like the Audi A4, especially if you plan to cover many kilometres on the road. And you can find ultra low-consumption variants, and versions with automatic gearbox, S tronic gearbox or manual gearbox. The trim is always the complete Advanced Edition line, although each car may have personalised extra equipment, so we advise you to review the listing and find the one that best fits your budget.

Audi A6: time to move up to business class

For much less than a new mid-size saloon would cost you, you can move up a category and step into the premium class by looking at an Audi A6 from the used vehicle programme of Audi.

Up to 36 models are included in the offer of the previous generation of the Audi A6, which was just renewed a few months ago. Prices start from less than 26,000 euros, when financing the purchase. As an example, for that amount you can already take home an Audi A6 2.0 TDI with a 190 CV engine and S tronic gearbox with less than two years old and less than 30,000 km.

Here the choice options focus on the aforementioned 190 CV engine, always with S tronic gearbox. You have a choice of equipment, with Advanced Edition versions, and also with the sportier S line editions. There are even available “ultra” eco versions, with which the official average consumption is 4.2 l/100 km.
