straight from my contract...
"Three regularly scheduled maintenances at the following intervals: 55,000 miles, 65,000 miles, and 75,000 miles or one year from the last service, which ever occurs first."

I want that contract...
I want to try to get the same AudiCare package you have. Can you tell me how long ago you got it? Who was the dealer? Any other information that you can give me about the contract?

Re: Tips for buying a used A4?
I agree with the carfax comment from another post. are you buying from a dealership or private seller?
as an owner of an 06 A4 Quattro M6 with 60K miles... a) why would anyone want to get rid of such an incredible car! Id ask about maintenance. There have been a few TSB's and a couple of very minor recalls on the model. I would look into them and make sure they have all been addressed and taken care of before buying a car. I do all the service on mine myself, but id look into the maintenance charts and make sure the seller has adhered to them... otherwise you could be looking at a neglected car and expensive repairs.

I agree, my dealer was great as well.
The car looked beautiful when I took it home. As a matter of fact, several people thought the car was new and were shocked when I told them it was 2 years old!

I think this is the difference:
From my Audi Car Plan Agreement:
Audi Care New Vehicle scheduled maintenance plan:
- Four regularly scheduled maintenances at the following intervals: 15,000 miles, 25,000 miles, 35,000 miles and 45,000 miles [...]
Audi Care Certified pre-owned scheduled maintenance plan:
- Three regularly scheduled maintenances at the following intervals: 55,000 miles, 65,000 miles, and <b>75,000 miles</b> [...]
So if you have a CPO car and Audi Care, it's probably covered.
