original warranty - does it transfer to new owner
I'm thinking of buying a 2003 audi from a friend who is the original owner.
It's still under warranty (I think it's a 4yr/48000 mile and 144 mo. for
rust). Will this warranty still apply to me as the new owner?
Thanks

In the UK at least, the warranty is on the car, not on the owner. When
you think about it, it doesn't make sense any other way.
Make sure you inform Audi that the car has been transferred to ensure
they have up to date details for warranty/recall etc.

Thanks. Anyone know if it's otherwise in the U.S.?
Also what repair manuals are available for the 2003 A4? I don't mind Haynes,
but they don't seem to make one for it.

A warranty is part of a contract. The contract is with the original
buyer only.
In the USA the manufacturer must provide free emissions control
system repair for 100,000 miles regardless of whether the owner
is the original buyer. Safety recalls are also free for all.
I don't think it is required that the rest of the warranty transfer.
