Used Audis for Sale
Find and buy your Audi used car in 60 minutes or less now
When you buy a used Audi, you purchase a loved luxury vehicle. Audi is considered one of the three best carmakers on the planet and only BMW and Mercedes Benz outshine it. Coincidently - or not - all these automobile manufacturers are from Germany.
Audi was the brainchild of August Horch, a German engineer. He first trained as a blacksmith, then studied engineering and started building ships. He established A. Horch & Cie Motorwagenwerke in 1899. The first Horch car, as it was known then, was manufactured in 1903. After a few ups and downs, and shareholding disputes, Audi Automobilwerke GmbH, what is today known as Audi, finally came into being in 1910. By the way, Horch is the German word for listen, and audi is the Latin version.
The four rings used as Audi’s logo represent the four different people and companies that finally formed this giant automaker. Interesting enough, the World Olympic Committee took Audi on about the similarity of the two brands, but Audi won!
Today Audi is considered a high-end brand for connoisseurs who love style, performance, and have just a tiny bit of attitude.
