I think that the new thing with their "Audi Assured" is a warranty five
years from the date the USED car is purcahsed, not original purchase date of
the vehicle.So, it is like getting a warranty for 5 years on a used car
(thought there are a number of wear parts not covered by the Audi Assured
warranty that the original one DOES cover).
