Buyers interested in accessible German luxury often turn to used Audi vehicles. Audi is supported by the much larger automaker Volkswagen, and the two companies share several platforms and technologies. However, Audi offers a far more exclusive reputation combined with some of the best interior designs in the business. A number of features unique to Audi also help to distinguish the brand not only from used Volkswagen automobiles but also from other premium competitors. Audi is most famous for its development and use of quattro all-wheel drive. This robust system is one of the most advanced in the world, and it can be ordered in one form or another across the entire Audi lineup. This has made used cars and crossovers popular in areas which must deal with inclement winter weather. Audi’s commitment to building high performance editions of several of its sedans and coupes has also distinguished it amongst used car shoppers looking for a great deal on a quick and sporty vehicle. Audi’s lineup received a healthy dose of investment over the course of the past decade, with several models undergoing significant redesigns that have allowed them to remain competitive with current model year vehicles. This is an impressive accomplishment given the rapid pace of the luxury car market.Popular Used Audi Cars There are several used Audi cars which stand out as providing excellent value for the luxury dollar; below, we’ll take a brief look at three of the most popular used Audi vehicles.
• Used Audi TT – One of the most unique designs ever committed to sheet metal, the hatchback TT is available secondhand with a number of different drivetrains, including a turbocharged quattro edition. Models built after 2006 also offer the option of a dual-clutch automatic / manual transmission. • Used Audi S4 – The go-fast edition of Audi’s bread and butter A4 sedan and wagon, between 2004 and 2005 the Audi S4 was built with a reliable and entertaining 340 horsepower, 4.2 liter V8 engine.

A convertible version is also available. • Used Audi A4 – With two body styles available – sedan and wagon – and both turbocharged four-cylinder and V6 engine options on tap, the 2005 – 2008 Audi A4 is a very stylish, very comfortable and very affordable luxury buy for families looking for a premium ride.
