Check whether the vehicle is stolen, pledged or still on active leasing.

Listing photos

Images from previous listings to see the real condition over time.

Equipment & specs

Owners & usage

Whether it shows up as a taxi in the registers checked and, where the sources hold the data, how many owners it had.

What a Audi VIN looks like

The first three characters of a VIN identify the manufacturer. On a Audi you will usually see the ones below.

WAUAudi for Europe, SUVs included (A3, A4, A6, Q5)
WA1SUVs sold in North America (Q5, Q7); you see it on cars imported from the US
WUAthe RS sport models and the R8
TRUmodels built in Hungary, such as the TT

The first two characters point to the manufacturer's country, not necessarily to the plant the car left. The list is not complete: the same brand uses other codes too, mostly for cars built outside Europe. If the VIN in the papers starts differently than you expect, compare it with the one on the body before you buy.
