Audi's certified pre-owned sales program had a strong month, selling 3,136 vehicles. This was the model's second-best July on record, though the company says it had less cars available for the program than in the past.
"Audi models exude emotion and innovation, and consumers are responding," Mark Del Rosso, chief operating officer of Audi of America, said in a statement. "A record July kicks off a second half that will see the brand gain even more sales momentum."
