Advantages of Used Audi Saloons

Though they have been around for over a century, Audi has long been overshadowed by fellow German carmakers BMW and Mercedes-Benz. But the company finally got its foot in the door when they introduced a new line of saloon cars called the A4 in the mid nineteen-nineties.

In the coming years the company made aggressive moves and began to compete directly with its countrymen in the crowded luxury car market. This would prove to be a prudent strategy as the Audi slowly gained ground, especially in the North American market where the A4 remains a bestseller.

What should you look for in used audi saloons ? The Audi A4 competes directly with the BMW 3 series, which is one of BMW’s most popular cars. For consumers who are looking for a quality luxury saloon car, it is incredible how often the choice comes down to either the A4 or the 3 series. Which is better? There is no doubt that the BMW name still carries more weight and has more cache. But the truth is that you end up paying for it.

In a head-to-head matchup, the cars both hold their own in most areas. But believe it or not, the used Audi comes out on top based on superior fuel-economy, a lower starting price and a better audio system. Audis are also easier to find in the used car market and because they do not retain their value quite as well as BMWs, they are more affordable.
