A holiday? A shopping spree? Maybe some home improvements? Maybe an upgrade in the driving department? Risky investment - or is it?

Investing in an Audi is a worthwhile way to spend that little extra in the salary this month. An Audi will hold its value due to its reputation for top quality construction and its ability to make a statement about the driver.

Looking forever sleek out and about on the roads with a power that knows no bounds, the Audi is the choice for sophisticated style and reliable craftsmanship.

But who wants to be taking a chance with a new car and all the possible little hiccups? Better to be purchasing a used Audi from an approved Audi dealership and know that its been run in, maintaining its 'just bought' feel and smell.

Or maybe you're new to Audi and not sure what to expect. Then try an approved used Audi dealer who can help you. You will have the assurance of the generous warranty that comes from the dealer carrying out over 100 checks. Anything found to be amiss will be repaired with genuine Audi parts. Still leaving you with a virtually new car, with a full service history, that will be the envy of all your friends and neighbours.

The new Audi A3 Convertible is due for release in 2008 with, it is reported, the appearance of the A3 Sportsback. So why not check out an Audi from a used Audi dealer before the investment of a brand new car?

Still being manufactured by Audi is the relatively new A6 Avant. With a unique blend of functionality and sleek design this car certainly makes for a pleasurable drive. However, a used Audi A6 Avant can be obtained from an approved used Audi dealership.

With minimal research, I managed to find an Audi A6 Avant 2.0 S Line Estate. Registered in July 2007 with a little over 4,000 miles on the clock on offer at just under 30k.

Also available is a gorgeous looking sporty little Audi TT Coupe 1.8T Quattro from 2002 in denim pearl blue with black leather interior. At under 15k that still leaves change from that Christmas bonus.

So you have a virtually new Audi car with a generous warranty from the used Audi dealer, knowing that when you want to trade it in for a brand new model - and you will want to stick with Audi's after trying this - then you're investment will be safe.

Approved Audi dealerships offer the very best in service for this prestigious car. Collection and delivery can be arranged for you and their after sales service is second to none. They will even provide an Audi courtesy car while your car is being serviced or in for an MOT (also arranged by the Audi dealership).

Body shop services and parts are provided so all your Audi needs will be under one roof. When not under this roof, approved used Audi dealerships also provide the option of roadside assistance also covering hotel accommodation.
