Thinking of buying the 1992 Audi 100?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1992 Audi 100 for sale by us right now. For anyone shopping for the 1992 Audi 100, here are the facts that matter.
Before you sign for the 100
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Engine and fuel
Power comes from the 2.8L 6-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Its combined rating is 12.4 L/100 km, which means roughly 37 litres for 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $65.10 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Living with the 100
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Its 453 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.
A good match for
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Drive it on your own roads
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the 100 for a week and see how it fits your life. If the 100 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.70 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
