We provide this tool for your personal, non-commercial use.

12. PART EXCHANGE

12.1. There are a number of legal agreements which you will need to enter into, at your local Audi Centre, if you decide to: part exchange your vehicle, purchase an Audi vehicle or enter into one of our financial arrangements ("Vehicle Agreements"). We (Volkswagen Group United Kingdom Limited) do not enter into these agreements and as we are not a party to them, do not have any obligations under them. The Agreements will instead each be with different companies who will be providing a different aspect of the transaction where applicable (e.g. your purchase of an Audi vehicle, the provision of finance or, in the case of part exchange, the sale of your own vehicle). The Vehicle Agreements will not become legally binding until you sign the relevant agreement. Those agreements include, agreements for;


12.1.1. the part exchange of your vehicle, to be entered into with your chosen Audi Centre;


12.1.2. the purchase of the vehicle, to be entered into with your chosen Audi Centre; and


12.1.3. finance arrangements, to be entered into with our affiliated financial services company, Volkswagen Financial Services (UK) Ltd.


12.2. The Vehicle Agreements are not concluded on the Site as you will need to visit the applicable Audi Centre to purchase the vehicle. An Audi Centre representative will provide and discuss with you the terms of the Vehicle Agreements and if you decide to proceed with the part exchange, purchase and/or finance arrangement, the relevant Vehicle Agreements will be entered into at the Audi Centre.


12.3. Please note, the price quotations and finance plan options that our online tools present to you are provided as an indication only.


INTERPRETING YOUR VALUATIONS


12.4. Valuations for your part exchange ("Valuations") are for information only and do not amount to an offer to purchase the vehicle. Valuations are given as guide prices and we do not promise that you will be able to sell, or buy a vehicle for the Valuation received. The actual sale or purchase price of your vehicle is dependent on our inspection and on a number of additional factors, including colour and condition of the vehicle, supply of similar cars within the open market, promotions on offer and location. You agree that you may therefore achieve a sale or purchase of a used vehicle at a level higher or lower than the Valuation.


12.5. Valuations are provided on the basis of a single transaction between a domestic vehicle user buying or selling a vehicle in a private non-commercial capacity (typically known as an Average Private Sale price).


12.6. Valuations are based on the information provided by you and accordingly you must provide complete and accurate information for a Valuation.


12.7. Valuations are based on assumptions as to the vehicles condition, such as: taking into account their age and normal usage; that the vehicle is right hand drive with UK registration plates (i.e. not an import); it is not a "non-runner" (i.e. its engine starts and continues to operate while stationary); it has never been an insurance write-off; it has never been used for rental, private hire, driving tuition or as a police vehicle and there are two sets of keys for the vehicle. Our Valuations are not adjusted to allow for any remedial work that has been undertaken to restore vehicles to an unusually high standard such as the condition in which a vehicle may be presented at a motor show. This applies especially to vehicles that could be considered as models with historical interest ('classic cars'), or those that are collected by enthusiasts. The Valuation figure provided is exclusive of road tax.


12.8. As part of creating a quote, we may not be able to provide a part exchange valuation for vehicles that are:


12.8.1. outside the age range of 3 months to 20 years old;


12.8.2. outside the mileage range of 1,000 - 200,000 miles;


12.8.3. specialist, customised or limited edition;


12.8.4. in short supply or rare; or


12.8.5. not registered from new in the United Kingdom.


12.9. For the purpose of obtaining a Valuation, mileage provided by you is rounded down to the nearest thousand miles.


12.10. Deposit contributions may be available when your vehicle is purchased through the Solutions Personal Contract Plan finance product, separate terms and conditions apply.

13. AUDI MATCH

13.1 This Site includes a tool called Audi Match that presents you with a set of questions and recommends to you new and used stock and the option to configure a car based on your answers to those questions. You can currently find this tool at: https://www.audi.co.uk/uk/web/en/find-and-buy/audi-match.html.


13.2 The display of vehicles and search results through Audi Match, and your use of this tool, does not create a contract or other binding obligations and is subject to change without notice. It is not an offer capable of acceptance.


13.3 Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information on Audi Match. However, errors may occur and Audi UK cannot guarantee the information provided on the tool will be accurate, complete and precise and does not assume liability for it.


13.4 The vehicles displayed in Audi Match are not updated in real time and, therefore, it is possible that they may be subject to other enquiries or sold. All vehicles are subject to availability.


13.5 Standard vehicle equipment is automatically populated from separate systems and sometimes may vary from the actual car. Prices, specifications and other vehicle information are subject to change without notice and may therefore differ at the time of order from the prices and other vehicle information displayed in the Audi Match tool. Please speak to your local Audi Centre to confirm the most up to date availability, price, specification and other vehicle information before placing your order.


13.6 Lead times given on Audi Match are indicative only.


13.7 Prices quoted on Audi Match:


a. For new cars are the manufacturer's recommended on-the-road price;
b. For pre-owned cars prices are set and determined by your local Audi Centre and, therefore, variable based on your postcode search. The prices may include any retailer offers, discounts, allowances or trade-in values.
All pricing will be finalised with you at your local Audi Centre.


13.8 The recorded mileage quoted for a pre-owned car on Audi Match has not been verified. Please speak to your local Audi Centre to confirm.

14. AUDI ACCESSORIES

14.1. This Site includes a tool that allows you to search for and view Audi Genuine Accessories (the "Audi Accessories Tool"). You can currently find this tool at: https://audi-shop.com/gb/en/


14.2. The display of products through the Audi Accessories Tool and your use of this tool to request a product does not create a contract or other binding obligation between you and us or you and an Audi Centre. It is not an offer capable of acceptance.


14.3. While we do our best to ensure the details of products offered and related information provided is accurate, we make no guarantee. Products shown are subject to availability. We make no guarantee that the products shown will be in stock and available at all or any Audi Centres. Please contact your selected Audi Centre to confirm availability before you visit (using the 'Make an enquiry' button or otherwise).


14.4. Products shown may not be compatible with your specific Audi vehicle and/or may require the purchase of other options or accessories.


14.5. If you click to 'Make an enquiry', you will be required to enter your postcode location or Audi Centre. If you enter an Audi Centre directly, the tool will select that Audi Centre. If you enter your postcode, the tool will use your postcode to select the Audi Centre geographically closest to you. If you wish to select a different Centre, use the postcode or location options for your search. Please note that when we select an Audi Centre for you, in response to your request, we do not confirm that the accessory you are interested in is in-stock at that Audi Centre.


14.6. Your request will be sent to the Audi Centre identified.


14.7. Products are not available to purchase on this site and you will need to visit your local Audi Centre to make your purchase. The purchase process will start when you visit the applicable Audi Centre. An Audi Centre representative will provide and discuss with you the terms and conditions relating to your purchase.


14.8. If you decide to purchase a product, then the agreement for the purchase will be between you and the applicable Audi Centre. We (Volkswagen Group United Kingdom Limited) do not enter into these agreements and, as we are not a party to them, do not have any obligations under them.


14.9. Your request is not a commitment to purchase.


14.10. Prices displayed are the recommended retail price (RRP). The actual price payable by you will be determined by the applicable Audi Centre and, therefore, is subject to change. Additional costs may be incurred due to e.g. installation of the product (all products with fitting requirements could be affected by additional costs). Always speak to the Audi Centre to confirm the most up to date availability, price and any restrictions on compatibility, before placing your order.
