Audi's new Core Collection pricing allows for two swaps a month plus two free rentals in other cities.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cBuilding off of the early success of the Audi select product, the introduction of the Core Collection now offers our Dallas-Fort Worth customers even more options to consider,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

All Audi select subscriptions include two vehicle swaps per month via a concierge pick up and delivery service or dealership delivery option.\u00a0Insurance, maintenance, roadside assistance, taxes and unlimited mileage are also included.<\/p>\n

New Audi\u00a0select members also can take advantage of a special introductory offer of 50% off the first month\u2019s payment, with a three-month commitment to the service. The service is currently being delivered in partnership with Dallas-area dealers.<\/p>\n

Subscriptions have been billed as a way to appeal to younger buyers by offering one inclusive price that covers wear, maintenance and insurance as well as mileage and depreciation and offering additional services such as access to other vehicles from the manufacturer\u2019s product portfolios.<\/p>\n
