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 VIN-specific fuel pump recall completion.
- Request transmission pipe remedy records and inspect for fluid leaks.
- Check the rearview camera and ask about collision warning faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Audi dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
