Program Benefits
A certified pre-owned Audi sedan, sports car, wagon, or SUV offers an ideal opportunity to take home the luxury vehicle of your dreams at an exceptional value. Both Audi and Mercedes-Benz offer high-quality, luxury CPO models and both offer extended coverage as well as lease or purchase financing options.
Warranty
When you purchase a certified pre-owned (CPO) Audi vehicle from Audi Hoffman Estates, your vehicle is covered by the Audi CPO Limited Warranty Program. At the time of purchase, your CPO vehicle will be covered by any remaining original New Vehicle Limited Warranty (standard bumper-to-bumper and powertrain coverage), followed by two years or up to 50,000 miles ― whichever comes first ― of CPO Limited Warranty coverage.
If the original new vehicle warranty (four years or 50,000 miles) expired prior to your purchase of a CPO vehicle, the CPO Limited Warranty begins on the day of your purchase and provides warranty coverage for two years with unlimited mileage.
Additional benefits under the Audi CPO Limited Warranty Program include no deductible or transfer fees as well as roadside assistance throughout the CPO Limited Warranty period. Audi CPO Warranty protection is honored at Audi dealerships throughout the United States and is transferable between private parties at no additional cost.
The Mercedes-Benz CPO (MBCPO) Limited Warranty runs for one year, with no mileage restrictions, starting when the original new vehicle warranty (four years/50,000 miles) expires. Additional coverage, via an MBCPO Extended Warranty, can be purchased for one or two more years.
Inspection Process
Only vehicles that pass a comprehensive inspection and meet other specific criteria can qualify for Audi CPO vehicle status. The Audi vehicle must be no more than five model years old and have an odometer reading of no more than 60,000 miles. In addition, it must pass a rigorous 300-point, 125-component inspection conducted by a trained Audi technician.
MBCPO vehicles must be no more than six model years old and have no more than 75,000 miles on the odometer. The previously owned Mercedes-Benz vehicle must also pass a rigorous, multi-point inspection conducted by a factory-trained technician.
Roadside Assistance
Additional peace of mind is provided by both Audi and Mercedes-Benz via 24-hour roadside assistance throughout the length of the CPO warranty coverage. We're there for you should you run out of gas, need your battery charged, have a flat tire, or require emergency towing. Additional roadside assistance on both qualifying Audi CPO and MBCPO vehicles includes extrication service and trip interruption coverage.
Reliability
Both the Audi and Mercedes-Benz brands of luxury cars and SUVs are highly crafted and precision engineered for top-level performance. A CPO vehicle designation is assigned only after specific criteria are met, to ensure continued peak performance.
