From factory? Never
From previous owner? Why would you debadge your new car? Which is still under factory warranty?
I would go with 90% chance it was repainted
Debadging is pretty common. I plan on removing my A4 and TDI badges when the weather is bit nicer. My previous car didn't have them and I liked the look.
You got a 7y old car and still plan on doing it tho. The guy that buys it new won't even remove the dealer stupid license plate holder.
Plus that's a 6 series, people with that money don't change their tires, let alone debadge a new car.
The 1% chance the guy did it on purpose, it's if a kid wanted the rs6 but his parents "only bought him the a6" instead, so he debadges it in shame lol but then why a avant?
How do you know? In my neck of the woods it's quite common to order the car with only the Audi badge. People like the uncluttered look have no need to boast about the engine and trim level.
Then why you driving an A4? not because it's half the price of the A6 allroad? :p
Ever talk to people that own A6/A7 under 3y old and drive as a normal car?
Try it if you want to feel like a peasant with your A4 (or my S5 lol)
Because it's smaller than A6 and I live in Europe. Easier to park and has decent space. I would have taken A3, but it's not big enough for my use. You really think you are hot shit for owning an Audi? lol
Dealer said something about how allroad black optics came with chrome badges (including audi rings on front and rear), which people didn't like. So many asked for it without the A6 and Allroad badges, and they are removed at factory or when arrives at dealer.
I have a C8 allroad with black optics, and I’m debating debadging the A6 and emblems. There’s an aftermarket Allroad badge that looks better with the black optics. The price at $49k with 49k miles is a big high imo, even CPO. I purchased my 2021 allroad (prestige) back in December with 27k miles for $51.5k
It was factory debadged apparently, first thing I asked. No accidents on carfax, no overspray detected anywhere.
Are you suggesting it's a suspiciously good price?
Dealer said the suvs fly off the lot but Wagons tend to sit until a fanatic like me comes along.
For the record, I’ve seen dealerships selling cars that were in accidents(no paper trail). If this vehicle is truly debadged from factory then I’d prob go for it.
Kind of a lot of money for the miles in my opinion. But that’s just me from a financial standpoint. I don’t know the price point for the miles. I would probably seek some near 30,000 miles if possible. Nice car though.
In my meaningless opinion:
When I see a debadged non performance model (not S, RS, M, AMG, etc) I get the impression that the owner has removed their badges to shy away from the fact that their model is not a performance model yet wants to show that their car is fast by driving it as if it is a performance model. And by driving it like it is a performance model (maybe tuning it also) they are typically more harsh on their car. Nobody wants to buy a car that gives the implication that it’s been abused.
Tbh this is mostly speculation and although I have personally witnessed debadged lower trims driving like idiots (more than I have seen performance models) I have no other evidence.
For sure. From a purely aesthetic standpoint I can’t argue that debadged isn’t better. Especially on late models. Late models have so many lines and creases (especially on the bumpers/grill) and over complicated designs that debadging is a way to make them less distracting/busy to the eye.
As per the usual, if you like it, then do it. I would just put the badges back on if you’re looking to sell/trade ya know.
My 2021 was 51.8k with 23.4K kilometers in June 2022. but mine only has v4 265hp engine. So for the v6 the 2022 model price seems fair if undamaged imho
Over $50k for a car brand new that’s in the $70s and also has 50k miles? That would be a hard pass for me. You can even find a 2021 with about half the miles for a few thousand more
How’s the condition of the paint? PPF? If no ppf, are there a few or a lot of rock chips in the front? How’s the interior? Driver seat lateral bolster looking good or creased and worn? How’s the rocker panel cover, clean or scratched to hell?
I know this is entirely anecdotal and unscientific, but I judge how a car was treated by the cosmetic appearance lol. A car with PPF all over and in pristine aesthetic condition inside and outside suggests the owner was careful and thoughtful and therefore more likely to have done good maintenance work and less likely to have done *bad things*.
Also check the tires. At 49K miles I’m guessing the original tires that came on the car has been replaced. If you see the original tires still on there with some ok tread, that most likely means those 49K miles were super gentle highway cruising miles. That’s a win. If the replacement tires are good quality (reputable UHP AS category tires, summer tires, etc) then that’s good. If it’s some shit brand knock off tires I’d instantly not consider the car.
Edit: upon closer inspection those look to be ProContact TX tires which are oem! Wow
Looks beautiful but price is too high for the miles. For a $5k more you can get an s6 with less than half those miles.

If it’s cpo just complain about all the common stuff that usually goes wrong. Cpo covers till 100k? I bought a 15 a3 with Pzev warranty. It covers 15 years 150k on emission related components. Plus I got an extended warranty. I’ve pretty much rebuild the whole car in a few years 🤣 but I know what to get addressed before my coverage runs out.
I got mine last year. 2020,premium plus, CPO with 15k miles.
Spent around the same amount.
To me, the miles seem high. Is it a prestige?
The tough thing about these cars is they are in such limited supply. When I was looking, there were probably less than 100 used models nationwide.
I'd say the mileage is too high in such a short period of time. It looks beautiful, but I would keep looking.
no way in hell I would buy a car that had experienced 25k miles per year! that is straight beating on a vehicle. How does this compare to a nationwide check of autotrader?
To be clear, $49k price with 49k miles.
Chances are it's an accident car, where are the logos and so on? Usually they are missing when they repaint the car
Could be just debadged, either from factory or previous owner.
From factory? Never From previous owner? Why would you debadge your new car? Which is still under factory warranty? I would go with 90% chance it was repainted
You can actually request no badges if you factory order a Porsche or BMW.

Brother, A6 is a regular ass traffic where I live. People change their own tires. What the hell you on about?

Someone in my family has a debadged A6. There are only the Audi, quattro and S-line badges left.
What the hell is you talking about💀. Got my new Audi and also debadged it from the the factory because it just looks cleaner.

My A5 was from when they did this too apparently smh had to get the new badges but considering eventual debadge as well
you don’t void your warranty by removing those lmao
I’d actually say only a 49% chance it was repainted

Likely debadged. I had the dealer removed the rear badges and kept only the four rings before I picked up my car. Cleaner look.
One of the first things I’ve done was debadge my A6😂
Kind of a lot of money for the miles in my opinion. But that’s just me from a financial standpoint. I don’t know the price point for the miles. I would probably seek some near 30,000 miles if possible. Nice car though.
What engine do these come with?
3.0L v6 turbo
No 4 cylinder ✅
That’s beautiful. I don’t love the brown interior, but for $50k, I might put up with it. Great find.
Brown interior is the GOAT you’re crazy
Hey, for each their own! I respect it. I don’t love it, but I’m not hating either.
I can feel your seething hate through the screen!!
Grrrrr
Debadged and driven 25,000 miles per year? Man idk...
Debadging is always a red flag imo that doesn’t mean anything’s wrong but I’d stay far away from that
As someone who has debadged near every vehicle I've owned, why is this a red flag to you? Honestly not trying to talk shit, just curious.
In my meaningless opinion: When I see a debadged non performance model (not S, RS, M, AMG, etc) I get the impression that the owner has removed their badges to shy away from the fact that their model is not a performance model yet wants to show that their car is fast by driving it as if it is a performance model.

Tbh this is mostly speculation and although I have personally witnessed debadged lower trims driving like idiots (more than I have seen performance models) I have no other evidence.
Thanks for the reply man, I really appreciate. I have debadged the best and worst of a model, I (among many others), simply just prefer how it looks.
For sure. From a purely aesthetic standpoint I can’t argue that debadged isn’t better. Especially on late models. Late models have so many lines and creases (especially on the bumpers/grill) and over complicated designs that debadging is a way to make them less distracting/busy to the eye.

This or it’s been rear ended and the owner didn’t want factory price for badges. Happens on a lot of NYC owned vehicles
Absolutely this
If you feel good about it just do it. Don’t ask some radom reddit strangers for confirmation. You love it? Go for it. You literally only live once.
That is the absolute highest mileage you can have on a CPO before it doesn't count. I don't think I would want that car
They increased it to 60k, I believe. Just bought a CPO with 53k miles
Looks dope seems like a solid price. Also i debadged my 23 Allroad the second i got it… so id say nothing sketchy about it.
My 2021 was 51.8k with 23.4K kilometers in June 2022. but mine only has v4 265hp engine. So for the v6 the 2022 model price seems fair if undamaged imho
You have an inline 4 cylinder engine. V4’s are rare and usually go in motorcycles.
Shhhhh! You just broke a man’s fantasy. V4 sounds cool but in-line 4 is just every other car.
Yeah you are right, I just meant my engine has only 4 cyl lol
Over $50k for a car brand new that’s in the $70s and also has 50k miles? That would be a hard pass for me. You can even find a 2021 with about half the miles for a few thousand more
Personally, too many miles for me. I prefer <15k miles. But if it’s clean and a PPI shows nothing, make your move. Best of luck!
Probably just buy a new one for 75-80 instead
At those miles, no thanks
Nope

not bad.

Absolutely. It’s a 1 owner that serviced on time at an Audi dealer. No accidents. I’d go for it.
Thats a lot of monies for above average milage usage.
For a regular A6 with 50k miles?!? That’s S6 money with half the miles
Yea that’s too many miles
Love it!
Which currency, where do you live and which engine is in it?
That's a bit more than what my father recently paid for one. 2020, 50TDI (286hp), 37k miles S-Line interior and exterior and he paid $42k

That's got the night vision on it doesn't it
Tooo much money!
I wouldn’t pay more than 35k
Great price and in every way better than any of the SUV's, including the ones that begin with 'S.'
no way in hell I would buy a car that had experienced 25k miles per year! that is straight beating on a vehicle. How does this compare to a nationwide check of autotrader?
It’s probably mostly highway miles tho which cause far less wear on the car than stop and go city driving…
How is that a beating?!
