New Audi vs. Certified Pre-Owned Audi Vehicles

Certainly, a key difference between a new Audi and a Certified Pre-Owned one is the price of the vehicle and how that fits into your budget. For a similar vehicle, new vehicles will have a higher price, and depreciate faster than an equivalent Certified Pre-Owned Audi. Audi CPO vehicles offer a more attractive price on the day you decide to purchase, and because the highest depreciation happens in the first few months of a vehicle’s lifespan, you avoid that as well. That said, new Audi vehicles include some exclusive perks, like Audi Signature Care which is a program that covers your scheduled maintenance for the first three years / 30,000 miles of ownership. Audi Signature Care also includes four years of Roadside Assistance coverage, so it’s important to note that the price of a new Audi vehicle includes these great additional benefits.

The brand motto for Audi is “Vorsprung durch Technik”, or Progress through Technology, in English. As such, Audi vehicles are highly advanced, from the drivetrain to the stereo system. Evolution happens at an accelerated pace, so newer models are going to have noticeably more advanced features, with things like laserlight headlights or 800-volt architecture for electric vehicles being integrated into existing model ranges as soon as they’re developed. This works out well for both new and CPO buyers. Audi vehicles are so much more advanced than their competitors that CPO vehicles will still be highly competitive with new vehicles from competing brands. And for those who want the absolute newest technology available, new Audi vehicles are the obvious choice.
