Protect the value of your Audi

We often get asked how service history affects the value of Audis. In addition to ensuring your car is maintained by our fully-trained technicians, using genuine parts, with knowledge of the latest software upgrades, having a full Audi service history protects its value when you come to sell or part exchange.

A car with a full Audi service history, particularly from Poole Audi, will always maintain the highest value, as it will be more desirable to its next potential owner.

We will still buy or take in part-exchange a car with a service history from independent garages, but dependent on the model this will reduce the value between £250 and £400. This is because a car without a full Audi service history is less desirable, and we may also incur costs duplicating some of the servicing work so we know it has been completed to the highest standard.

If a car has missed a service we won’t buy it, and if we take it as part exchange the value will reflect the fact that we won’t be able to resell it. Many used car traders who supply independent dealers will also choose not to buy these second-hand cars due to the potential risks they present, which further impacts the value. Missing a service can cost you many hundreds of pounds when it comes to selling your Audi.

We have several offers to help you take care of your Audi and protect its value, including 0% APR finance and a range of Service Plans like Fixed Price Servicing for Audi models aged over 3 years old. To find out more simply give us a call at 01202 983727 and we’ll be happy to talk you through all the options.

Ocean Automotive Limited trading as Poole Audi is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Ocean Automotive Limited trading as Poole Audi to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes Volkswagen Financial Services UK. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach is to introduce you first to Volkswagen Financial Services UK, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives and which you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and Volkswagen Financial Services UK may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.

At the end of the agreement there are three options: i) retain the vehicle: pay the optional final payment to own the vehicle; ii) return the vehicle; or iii) replace: part exchange the vehicle, finance subject to status. Available when purchased on Solutions Personal Contract Plan. Deposit contribution is available when purchased on Solutions Personal Contract Plan. Retail Sales only. +Subject to agreed annual mileage. Excess mileage apply. Offer available for vehicles ordered between 1st July and 30th September 2024. Further charges may be payable if vehicle is returned. Offers are not available in conjunction with any other offer and may be varied or withdrawn at any time. Available to 18's and over. Subject to availability. Terms and conditions apply. Finance subject to status. Accurate at time of publication [July 2024]. Freepost Audi Finance.

General Finance Terms and Conditions. Please note you will not own the vehicle outright until all payments are made. If you default on your finance payments, then the vehicle may be repossessed by the finance provider. You must be 18 years or older to apply for finance. Finance is not guaranteed, and any finance application is subject to a credit check and individual circumstances. If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact us.
