Default Would you buy a certified pre-owend A3 loaner?

A dealer near me has a certified pre-owned 07 s-line with 8k miles at a pretty good price, but it was a loaner for their service department. Common sense tells I shouldn't touch it with a 10ft pole.. but its tempting because it has Audi's 4 year warranty + the 2 year certified.

What do you guys think?

Do you plan on keeping the car for more than 4 years?

Maybe if it's problem free I have no clue to be honest.

It's certified, if the price is right dont think twice.

Buy a new one and that puppy will be worth what the certified one is worth once you drive it off the lot.

^ + 1; loaner people might have driven it hard but it should be fine if it is pre-owned.

yah i feel you.. the loaners most definitely tested its limits, but with the warranty, etc.. you should be fine. and 8,000 miles is nothing.
g'luck!

Mine was a certify audi used car, original owner bought it at the same garage and the condition was really good, price was ok too. I'm from canada so things are different a bit, car had 30000km (2006 a3, sport. climate, roof, xenons)

dont forget that you pay for the certification, around 2000$ here in canada BUT with the audi certify planI got financing of 4.8% for 5 years if i remember correctly + the added waranty... so it pretty much pay himself.I got window tint and oem audi winter rubber floor mats in the deal. Car had a remote starter allready installed in it.

Man i'm loving it!!! I still hate care dealler but the car is really nice

to be aproved for the audi certification the car has to have a perfect carfax report, it's one of the first step in the inspection.
