Certified Pre-Owned, Explained
What Audi Certified Pre-Owned actually covers, how the warranty really works, and how to decide between CPO, used, and new — plainly explained by the Audi store on Airline Highway.
An Audi CPO vehicle is typically 5 years old or newer with no more than 60,000 miles, comes with a vehicle history report, and has passed a comprehensive inspection covering more than 125 components. The program is exclusive to Audi dealers.
That eligibility bar does the first round of filtering: newer cars, lower miles, clean history. The inspection does the second. Browse what is certified now in CPO inventory, and see the store’s CPO program page for the OEM overview.
The Audi CPO Limited Warranty covers 1 year or 20,000 miles, whichever comes first — and when it starts depends on the car. If factory New Vehicle Limited Warranty remains (4 years/50,000 miles from new), that factory coverage runs first, and CPO coverage begins when it ends. If the factory warranty has already expired, CPO coverage starts the day you buy.
Two clarifications. The CPO warranty is its own coverage — it is not an extension of the factory warranty, and it is not bumper-to-bumper. On e-tron and other electrified models, the high-voltage battery is not covered by the CPO warranty, though it may still be covered under remaining factory warranty. The warranty booklet spells out covered systems and exclusions. We will walk you through it on the specific car.
Covered CPO repairs are performed free of charge at any authorized Audi dealer in the U.S. Buy the car here, have a covered issue in another city, and that Audi store handles it.
Exclusions exist. Confirm coverage on a specific repair in the booklet or with us before you buy. Our service department is Monday–Friday 7:00am to 6:00pm and Saturday 8:00am to 2:00pm.
Yes — 1 year of roadside assistance with unlimited miles, and it attaches to the vehicle. New Audis carry 4 years of roadside from the factory; CPO provides its own year on certified vehicles. If your specific car still has remaining factory coverage, ask us how roadside looks on that VIN. We will not invent the stack.
For CPO vehicles sold on or after August 1, 2023, no — the CPO Limited Warranty is non-transferable and covers the original CPO purchaser only. If resale flexibility matters a lot, factor that in, and compare with buying new.
You are paying for a factory warranty, a verified history, and an inspection of more than 125 components. Vehicles outside the CPO window — older than 5 years or past 60,000 miles — can still be the right value; shop those with the used buying guide.

Start with CPO inventory. Financing uses the same finance application. A qualifying trade through the trade tool reduces Louisiana taxable price the same way it does on any vehicle.
Then drive it. Sales is Monday through Saturday, 9:00am to 7:00pm. Ask to see the vehicle history report on any certified car.
