The 1985 Audi 4000 for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1985 Audi 4000 for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 1985 Audi 4000, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Before you sign for the 4000
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
The figures, translated
The powertrain to know here is the 1.8L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Fuel use is rated 9.8 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 29 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $151.90. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles.
Living with the 4000
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. In plain terms, its 368 litres of luggage space hold about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who rents the 4000
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Rent it for a week first
Try the 4000 on your commute, then decide. Rent the 4000 first, and buy only if it fits your life. If the 4000 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.19 in fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
