Hi folks

Just bought an A5 Audi approved used.

42,000 miles full Audi serv history etc

Comes with a years warranty etc

What should I look out for?

I'm not worried about oil as this car replaces an rx8 lol

Oops!

Would have helped eh?

It's the 2.0 tfsi 208 hp model

I've not picked it up yet so not seen exactly what's been done on the service schedule as paperwork will be in car.
It certainly appears to be in pristine condition.

It's a 58

The warranty is that of a new car so I'm not too worried.

Also, it's manual and it's smooth and quiet as anything!

In reply to earlier question - it's the Audi approved warranty which is same as new car.

I also get a years free breakdown cover and up to £750 contribution if it fails next mot

I'm totally covered if a fault is found which was pre-existing. I got the office manager out to confirm that in front of three other people.

Truth is I'm happy with what's being offered.

The windows are similar to a jag xk8 so if a fault develops I will know how to fix
