I'm almost at the point of buying a 16 plate rs6, just wandering how good the approved used warranties are from Audi?
For another 4k I can get a 67 plate so still in original mfr warranty but if the approved is as good I'd rather save some cash.

Also what are the chances of getting a 2 year approved warranty as part of the deal, is this something dealers are open to of they won't budge any more on price?

Audi's like any other warranty company and will sell you the level of cover you want (or want to pay for):

I bought my first RS3 with a year's approved used warranty. It was with the dealer for four months whilst diagnosing and fixing a rattle from the engine, no quibbles or anything. I'd say it was worth having, particularly on the RS6 where the bork potential is even higher.

I managed to negotiate 2 years on my S1, however had to take their finance. OP did you go for a Nardo Grey RS6?

No, really wanted one but couldn't find one with both adaptive cruise and rear view camera. Have found a 2016 12.5k mile performance model in panther black crystal, ideally I was after a mid to late 17 plate for the warranty but the 2 year approved used will help with that.
