be sure to check the market and understand it properly. When I looked at 2004+ A8's, I've noticed there was a lot of difference in price between cars offered based on km's and weather they had the sport package. Some non audi dealers were asking as much as 10k less for a car with similar characteristics as an audi dealer.

Do your homework.

Check repaints, or any questionable history and make sure the car was maintained properly. Given most of the ones on the market have been previously leased vehicles, your chances of finding one that has maintenance up to date are pretty good.

I have noticed the huge differences in prices, even just between the non Audi dealers, and was kind of confused by that at first. After talking to a couple of car salesmen, however, I was able to walk away just a bit more knowledgeable (or at least I hope ).

Of course there are the basic features you should look for, such as mileage, year, past usage, etc. Then there are other things to consider, for example, parking. These are bigger cars than many others are used to, and you have to be willing to make some adjustments.
