Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify battery and charging-cable recall applicability and completion.
- Obtain cylinder-head cover screw and passenger-airbag recall records.
- Ask about collision-avoidance and braking issues; inspect tire condition.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Audi dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
