Audi Approved is just a marketing term, I know of somebody who bought Audi approved 3 year old A5 with front tyres worn on inside to unsafe level because of suspension wear.

STOKE AUDI'S S8 APPROVED DIRTY NOB
i think the valet bloke needs glasses

my last email from stoke audi said

Hi Robert,

I’m sorry if I have upset you in any way. And I can appreciate that you are a loyal customer to the brand. However Stoke Audi want the car prepared to our very high standards before we offer it for sale and as such have taken it off sale until we have confirmation that the car has passed our inspection standards. If and when we get this confirmation I will contact you.

it certainly has not passed my inspection standard stoke audi

IIRC the legal status of a price ticket is "an invitation to trade" and, although many retailers will honour it for the sake of goodwill, there is no legal obligation to do so.

And I've been careful not to write this in a broad Glasgow dialect as even I wouldn't understand that!
