Audi Approved is it worth the extra £££

[CSK423]

I suppose it's really down to the model of Audi.

I've been lookin at the RS4 (B7), you seem to pay around a 1/2k premium somtimes more than a non franchised dealer.

Is the premium worth it, would it be a suicidal risk going elsewhere going by the DRC issues and elusive coking on the FSI engine ????

Dont worrie about the engine coking, give rex-ex a go every few months. DRC is covered upto 5 years under goodwill if you ask for it!

Buy on condition, have seen cars that have come from all over the place (private and trade) that we've turned away.

Very generally... Main dealers are a safer bet if things go wrong within first 12 months... and they have a fixed spec that the cars must meet (tyres, servicing, break pad wear etc etc) before they are sold... if the dealer plays up you can go to Audi Uk to complain.... if an indy mucks you about your next stage up is trading standards...

I bought my last two cars from indys... just because the Audi used network never had what I wanted at the time... unless I wanted to drive 300 miles to view it...
