Vorsprung, the spirit of Audi
Vorsprung durch Technik. Three words thatencapsulate the Audi philosophy of progress andinnovation. It is our forward thinking ability toanticipate the needs of rapidly changing timesby consistently creating vehicles that evolve withhumankind. Vorsprung is innovation combinedwith passion. It’s about thinking ahead andleaving others behind. It’s the courage to rewritethe rules and then break them. It’s about alwaysdoing what people say cannot be done. Vorsprungis where the miracle of inspiration meets withthe magic of imagination.Vorsprung is more than a statement; it’s ourphilosophy – and you’ll find it in every Audi,no matter what age.
Residual value that keeps growing
The resale value of Audi vehicles in South Africa
continues to thrive across all market sectors.
In some instances, cars like the Audi RS4, Q7, new
TT and Sportback remain in such demand that most
owners are able to sell their Audi at the same or
even above what was paid when they were
purchased as new.
Consistent results that speakfor themselves
Audi is the most coveted used car brand, according to
Lex, the UK's leading leasing company. Pre-owned
buyers aspire to the same values as a new car buyer,
and that’s why the Audi brand leads the way in excellent
residual value. Pre-owned Audis are as sporty
and sophisticated, stylish and exclusive as their
new counterparts.
The graphs above show the residual value after a 1 year period of ownership.
The percentage is shown as a value of 100%.

Lex’s 2007 top 20 used cars list reveals which models
are going to be worth the most in the second hand
market. Two Audi models feature in the top 3, what’s
more, there are more Audis on the Lex list than any
other car maker.
According to the TransUnion Auto Dealers Guide
(previously known as the M&M guide - the most
authoritative guide for used car values in South Africa),
Audi is in line with, and in many cases even above, its
key competitors on resale values, with residual values
improving over the past two to three years.
Automotive Lease Guide’s annual Residual Value
Awards honour those vehicles in each automotive
segment predicted to retain the highest percentage of
their original price. Audi is in the top 3 of Luxury
Brand Residual Value Rankings, based on 2007 models.
German car magazine, Autobild, established that
when it comes to residual value, two Audi models are
Germany's best in class. The Audi A3 Sportback was the
winner of the compact class with a predicted residual
value of 69 percent of the purchase price after three
years, with the Audi A6 finishing top of the luxury class,
with a value stability of 59 percent, likewise after
three years. Runner-up in the executive class was yet
another Audi, the Audi A8.
Autobild magazine annually determines the "Value
Champions" in twelve vehicle categories, and many pre-
owned buyers base their important buying decision
based on this. The residual value forecasts are the result
of extensive research, data collection and calculations.
The study considers both vehicle-specific data as well
as economic factors such as gross national product,
price development and the rate of inflation.

The Audi A4 - a case in point
It has been determined that the latest Audi A4 will retain significantly more of its value after three years or
96562 km than its rivals, according to CAP Monitor, the leading Industry guide to future values. The residual
value figures predicted for a cross section of new A4 models are at least three per cent, and up to 7 per cent,
higher than German equivalents. The increase in desirability of the latest Audi A4 range is a key factor in
determining the future demand that drives residual values.
The Audi Pre-owned programme.Another reason for Audi’s superiorresidual valueA key reason for Audi’s improved residual value is Audi
Pre-owned, the premier used vehicle programme in
SA. No matter what the age of your Pre-owned Audi,
you get all the quality, value and prestige that comes
with belonging to the exclusive circle of discerning
Audi owners. A Pre-owned Audi is as Vorsprung today
as it was the day it left the showroom.
The Audi Pre-owned programme includes the following:
Audi Freeway Plan
Audi now has the most comprehensive pre-owned
offer in the market, with all Pre-Owned Audi's having
a 40 000km / 2 Year Maintenance plan as standard.
The Audi Freeway Plan gives owners peace of mind
that their vehicle will be serviced, maintained and
repaired when necessary and at no extra effort or cost.
This fully comprehensive maintenance and warranty
plan is included on all Audi Pre-owned vehicles to
ensure that every Audi maintains its high standards
of quality.
Audi Assist
Audi owners are as important to us as Audis
themselves. That’s why the owner, spouse and
dependent children are automatically entitled to this
unique two-year roadside and emergency assistance
service which is operated 24-hours a day. In the unlikely
event of an Audi breaking down or in the event of an
accident, free of charge benefits include: Roadside
assistance; Tow-in; Courtesy transport; Hotel
accommodation or vehicle rental; Vehicle recovery;
Medical Assistance and Advice and Legal Assistance.
All information and graphs have been supplied by Audi of South Africa.
80-point Check
We always pay careful attention to detail to make sure
that each Pre-owned Audi meets the exacting standards
of Vorsprung. All Audi Pre-owned vehicles are taken
through a comprehensive 80-point mechanical check
prior to going onto the showroom floor. Reconditioning
of all interior and exterior areas on the vehicle is also
carried out. Every Pre-owned Audi has a full service
history and no Audi involved in an accident with major
structural damage may be sold as a Pre-owned vehicle.
Vehicle Integrity Check
The integrity of every Audi is paramount, and to ensure
the Audi experience is exceptional, we check that all
Audi Pre-owned vehicles are not listed as having been
stolen, are the subject of fraud or any outstanding
finance. This is because the possibility of buying a
stolen vehicle from just any used vehicle dealer is very
high, and if the police take a used vehicle from the
buyer, the buyer still has to pay all the instalments.
14-day Exchange Plan
Audi stands by its Pre-owned promise of providing
a premium product and service. If for any reason a
buyer wishes to exchange a Pre-owned Audi, all
Audi Pre-owned vehicle dealers honour a 14-day
exchange plan, which means the buyer can exchange
their Pre-owned Audi within 14 days of purchase for a
Pre-owned Audi of a similar price.
Your Audi dealer will be happy to assist you in becoming
a discerning Audi owner.
