Used Audi A3 for Sale in Santa Cruz, CA

I reached out to these guys a few weeks ago and got great customer service. In the end I didn't buy a car here, but it mostly came down to the distance I'd have to travel to get there.

Good entry level car, but overall needs a better retaining of value from a depriciation perspective. Like the drive and speeds but needs a bit of upgrade on the engine. Interior needs to be improved too.

Giovanni really knew the car, it’s capabilities and attributes. A real pleasure to shop with a bright and engaging salesperson. He made car shopping fun.

A dream to drive. The cockpit is one of the best-laid out, most comfortable, elegant looking, and intelligently engineered. The drive is as smooth as you expect from a high-end luxury car but handles like a sports car. Can't comment on long-term reliability yet, but can say it is beyond a pleasure to drive.

Where do I begin?! This being my first time ever purchasing a car, it was far easier than I expected! I expected a scary back-and-forth pressuring negotiation between myself and a tough salesperson, but NOPE! The whole process was much easier and went smoother than I thought it would be! I took interest on a car online and messaged the dealership through their website. I got a quick response from the internet sales team, under Cassandra Crawford. I had read previous reviews on her on Yelp and was glad she was the one who personally handled my purchase! All the positive reviews she previously received, I believe 100%! When I first stepped foot on the dealership to just take a look at the car in person, she gave me no added pressure to BUY NOW! She had a very kind employee (Eric) drive me to the expansion lot where I took time to admire the vehicle. We went back to the dealership and Cassandra gave me a quote printout with all the incentives and best offer to begin with and I walked right out that door feeling no sense of pressure put upon me! We continued to email each other for about a day until we got to where I wanted. From the beginning she asked me how much I wanted to pay for monthly and the down payment and she definitely delivered to meet all my demands! I told her from that I wanted to enjoy the vehicle and not regret it down the line all because of a spur of the moment big purchase. She understood that completely! In fact, I came by the next day to ask her further questions about the deal and that was it. Still no pressure to sign any contract or deal yet! I told her I'll be back tomorrow to sign everything and finalize the deal but mostly to sleep on it one last time (cold feet 😅). She really worked with my work schedule to see when the best time was for me to come back. So, that was a total of 3 visits to the dealership (all my decision) and she was able to take time in her busy schedule to meet with me every single time. You can tell she is a very busy woman but she gets back to you on a very timely manner! We were even texting on her personal phone after office hours because I had so many questions for her (Sorry Cassandra!). Along with her assistant (also her daughter), they are able to work with you to meet all your needs! I told her that I would text her and let her know when the best time for me to come in was and with very short notice, she had everything all taken car of! When I got there for all the paperwork, my car was sitting right in front of the dealership, all clean and ready to go! Her daughter, helped me the technical details of the car and was very helpful! Frank, was the one who was nice enough to take time off from sales to help me start paperwork while Cassandra was at a doctor's appointment across the street. It was the only time I could swing by during work with a 3 hour window, so Cassandra was able to relay the information to Frank. Once Cassandra got back, she brought me over to Wayne who handled the finances. Wayne was another great associate who made sure to explain every little detail on what I was signing because I always have a lot of questions! He also worked with me to get the best deal possible on any extra maintenance packages I may need on the car! He was very honest on if I really needed a certain package or not and did not scare or pressure me at all into buying anything! The whole pick-up day process only took 1-1.5 hrs of my time and went very smoothly! 👏🏻 Do not go anywhere else if you are thinking about getting an Audi! Go straight to Cassandra! She will definitely take care of you! All the wonderful reviews on her on different websites are all accurate! Everything still feels unreal after a few sleepless nights because of pure excitement! Thanks again Cassandra Crawford! You're the best! Tell her Nathan sent you! 😉

I think this car is definitely an amazing car to drive ..It has a lot of great technology and features a lot of features most vehicles of that class size don’t even offer yet .. I think the craftsmanship and styling is on par for the price point and I wouldn’t have any hesitation to purchase one !

Got appointment scheduled, dropped car off for service and picked up my clean, freshly washed car 30 minutes before the promised finish time. No drama and very systematic. Just the way it should be.

I've had many other European cars including Mercedes, BMW, and SAAB and the Audi A3 has been the most reliable and funnest to drive. The Audi A3 handles great and has been proven itself to be trustworthy to drive anywhere. Between my wife and I we have driven over 80k miles in the last two years without any breakdowns or repairs. The turbo allows for quick, quiet acceleration while keeping gas mileage high. I have been averaging 35 mpg with a mix of hwy and city driving.

Service department is outstanding, clearly five stars. On an absolute scale, the buying process was only 2 stars, but I gave them 4 by comparison with my experiences buying cars at other dealers -- which would rate -5 stars! I bought my Lincoln MKZ hybrid there 5 years ago, and have used them for service throughout, so I have significant experience. I've been buying cars for 50 years, so also have a lot to compare with.

I LOVE this car. I was originally going to get an S3 but due to some timeline constraints, just went with the closest A model to my home that fit my desired specs. I have ZERO regrets! This thing is almost as fast as the S, looks and feels great, and handles like a dream. Audi makes some very impressive machines and this little guy is no exception. I've gotten so many compliments and when people drive my car, they squee in delight! The tiptronic and the sport mode really give you the oomph you need to get ahead and around other cars. The sunroof is HUGE! What a great little car!

It’s a little smaller but packs the same 2.0 Turbo awd Quattro which makes it of so fun to drive while stable. Love the car.

Perfect marriage of comfy luxury sedan and zippy go kart! I had an A4 before and decided I needed to go down in size and this thing is SUCH an upgrade even though it is technically one year older than my previous car. I love the pop up display and the blind spot sensors are SO helpful. The back up camera actually senses obstructions that you can't see--what a great piece of tech! I'm just so impressed with this car.

My old car was my third minivan in 15 years. Now that my kids are older and leaving for college, I wanted something that could carry 6 or 7 passengers but was ... well... NOT a minivan. I did some research on late model used three-row SUVs, and found the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. (My favorite of my three vans was a 2005 Nissan Quest, so choosing Nissan was easy for me.) Before I started browsing for cars, I applied for credit through Carvana, and was approved. Next, I entered in all of the information about the van I was trading for the Pathfinder. (Beware -- the trade-in amount is only good for 7 days, and it can change wildly in that time!) I was pleased with the trade amount, and it was great that I could shop for my new car and see my down payment and monthly payment for every car I viewed! My specifications were pretty clear -- AWD, less than 10,000 miles, and never a rental car. I found my dream car a few days later, and started the purchase process. It was quite smooth and the directions were very clear about what documents need to be uploaded. When I went to click on "finalize purchase" (or something like that), a red flag popped up...my trade-in value expired WHILE I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CHECKING OUT! I got on chat with Carvana staff right away, and they were able to return the trade in value to NEARLY what it was before the expiration. This is something that needs to be addressed by Carvana -- once a customer is to a certain point in the process, those numbers need to be frozen. So we set a delivery time, and the Carvana rep was pretty much on time considering he was traveling 70 miles or so from the Chicago office. Everything was smooth -- signed a couple more papers, took my Pathfinder for a spin, Eric inspected my trade, and I left within 30 minutes with my new car. I would also like to add that I drove directly to my mechanic, so he could inspect the car and make sure I wasn't buying something with hidden damage. Mechanic said to me, "This car is perfect, like new." Just what I wanted to hear. Thanks Carvana! I am telling everyone I know about you guys. Good to work with you! Janet - 2017 Nissan Pathfinder

Excellent vehicle for the money. Enjoy driving it, along with the surprising power and comfort. Search all over for a vehicle to find a jewel in Lagrange Georgia.

This is a review of my SELLING experience to Carvana. I listed my car on Craigslist and was approached by an outsider buyer named Jan. She introduced me to Carvana, which I never heard of before, and it's process. She was very helpful and walked me through the process. The first deciding factor for selling to them was that they offered me the best price (vs. CarMax, Auto Nation, Trur Car). Then I realized the process was super streamlined. All I had to do was upload my documents and, after approval, schedule an appointment for the pickup of my car. Carvana sent a truck to COME TO ME to pick up the car. The driver (Lauren?) was very courteous and pleasant to work with, too. The pickup process, which included a one-mile test drive, took no longer than 20-30 minutes. Immediately after loading my car to their truck, I was handed the check, which I immediately deposited without any issues. My selling experience from being contacted by buyer to getting the check took just 10 days! (Would've been even faster if I was more timely with uploading my docs.) I'd highly recommend Carvana for selling your cars!

I’ve owned many cars from Toyota, Honda, Hyundai etc. I just say Audi is something else, extremely powerful l, elegant, and very affordable. I would def recommend this car to everyone

All the informations needed were given to me. The buying process, requirements and all the necessary data in buying a used car were given to me.

This is the first time I got the same car twice in a row. I loved my first Audi A3 so much that when my lease was up it wasn't even a question if I was going to get another one. My 2019 A3 is even more beautiful than my 2015 was.

Had problems with exhaust filter was from out of town took me in and fixed it when Chevrolet wouldnt thx for the great service five stars in my book thx mr Gonzales and crew

This car met all my needs. Good leg room in the back for a small car. Excellent gas mileage and extremely comfortable with more amenities than you would expect at the price point.

Buying through Carvana was one of the best transactional experiences ever! I shopped for several months, test drove several cars to understand the models and features I was looking for. Then, boom, the car that matched come up in my search and I pulled the trigger. Within minutes, I had a value on my trade-in, purchased the car, (to include a very well priced extended warranty), and arranged for financing it through the Carvana website. And, while that was a very easy, non pressure experience, what made it really special was the delivery. Rachel, the Caravan rep, called me the day before the delivery to confirm, then called while in route to be sure not to leave me hanging. She was right on time, professional, and extremely upbeat. I had a genuine feeling that her priority was not only to deliver the car and pick up my trade in, but it was to make the final part of my experience a pleasure as well. Rachel was extremely knowledgeable of the process and did an excellent job of assuring I was informed of the "7 day, no questions asked, test drive" as well as the final paperwork to be processed. A few signatures and the trade-in was her's and the keys to 2014 BMW 535 were in my hands.

Angeli pena help me with the process it was fast and i left with the car the same day. the sale team they are amazing and pleasent too..... i love the way the do things.

Seriously, great service, I pulled up, dropped the car, and was out the door in less then 15 minutes. This is typical customer service here, I have never had any issues. I've owned a Mercedes years ago, and when I took it in for Service st another dealership, it was never pleasant, and took so long. Again, great service, Danny took great care of me and my car, having it brought in in a timely manner and the repairs completed right on time. I appreciate this so much,

Very comfortable, Exceeded my expectations in performance and Fuel economy, yet Fun to drive! Pride in ownership. Beautiful looking car! Prestigious to show up in this vehicle for my business appointments!

Out of the blue I was contacted by a woman from Carvana on a Sunday when I actually had time to communicate. She and all of the subsequent reps who sent me information as I needed or requested it were professional and thorough. I was able to research the company online and was impressed with the entire concept of online selling and car buying and the ease with which I was able to find background information. Once I agreed to the offer I was taken step by step through the process. I was not confused even once by the process. I had nothing to do but gather my documents, upload them and then schedule a date for my car to be picked up and for me to be paid. The local rep. From Carvana came to my home exactly at the agreed upon time, was clear about what was going to happen, worked quickly and answered my questions. Once the papers were signed (I did not need to go to the DMV or AAA or to a notary) I received my check and my car was loaded on the one car hauler and driven away. I deposited the check that day and funds were available the very next day (which happened to be a Sunday). If I were not really strapped for time perhaps I could have made an extra $ 500-1000 overall by selling it to an individual but I would have worked very hard for that extra money and spent time I did not have available. Instead, I was not stressed by the extra work, my other responsibilities were able to be met and my car is off and becoming someone else???s beautiful Subaru. Thank you Jan and all the others who worked on the transaction. Judy R ...

This car is everything, smooth ride, and plenty of space! I am excited to take this car out, Got it supper clean and i plan to keep it clean.

I've always wanted to test drive an Audi and they are just beautiful - from the interior with all the attention to detail to the exterior - very clean lines which stand out. And great acceleration too! Handling was very good too, no rolling either. I love German cars too but between the premium gas (not that I would have to use it all the time) and the maintenance, I decided this just wasn't the car for me.

Carvana has the most Happy & Helpful Reps. I have ever dealt with. I called a LOT leading up to my delivery, One poor guy was on the phone with me for nearly an hour trying to deal with my bank (it was fully automated and difficult), but the entire time he remained happy and kept chatting with me as we got through the process, I felt important and extremely valued. Anywhere else would have just put me on hold for ten minutes at a time, but not my new friends at Carvana! The entire Experience - from browsing online, to the first test drive - was very enjoyable ! I almost want to buy another car so I can do it all over again... it sounds like a joke, but you will understand when you experience it yourself. 🎶Car-vana-oooo-na-na🎶

Love my A3! I'm 5'7" medium build and the car fits like a glove. Highly responsive and agile. Make no mistake the 2.0 will put you in your place and press you deep into the seat . Great head rest. I recommend proper seat positioning. This isn't a car your gonna truly control without the support. I highly recommend one if you can get one. Enjoy. I know I do.

This is my third Audi and with that have realized I am an Audi driver - I don't think I will ever own another brand!

I purchased a car in Aug 2018, there was a delay with the delivery. No big deal they called me and offered me an Uber being the next day I didn't have a ride there. I didn't like it and it was returned it with no issues. 3 weeks later i ordered another car. I love the ease of ordering online and the description of the car isn't too far off. I received my second car and it had a small dirt area on the back. I made a joke about it with the delivery driver and he made a call and they gave me a detail on them. Then as I was going through the settings of the vehicle I noticed one of the the items they listed as a perk wasn't actually in the car. I called carvana and they admitted to their mistake and accommodated me with what they were able to offer. I have never been to a dealer that will admit their mistake and then try to assist you to make things at ease for you. If i am in the market again I will definitely come here. I would recommend them. Their customer service is great and even the warranty/claims area. I took the car to the dealer to get it looked over and when they found an item they called Carvana and it was taken care of without an issue. This was a hassle free buy. Thank you Carvana I do not remember my delivery driver name but he was the best. Thank you Michelle Benitez for all the great help and customer service you gave me. Not once did I feel like I was getting attitude from her because I was complaining about a misprint. Thank you for taking my concerns serious. JJ (Texas)

It was everything I was looking for, color, style, speed, and at the price point I was looking for. I’m very happy with my purchase. Alice (my A3) as I call her now, is a great little car!
