Audi hopes to tap the demand for pre-owned cars in the Lucknow and adjoining areas, its dealer principal said.

A recent study by OLX Autos and Crisil had suggested that within the overall used car market, the luxury cars have seen a significant rise in both demand and supply in the first half of the current calendar.
