Buying the 1983 Audi 5000
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1983 Audi 5000; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 1983 Audi 5000 before buying one.
A buyer's checks
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
The figures, translated
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Living with the 5000
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway.
A good match for
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
A longer test drive
Try the 5000 on your commute, then decide. If the 5000 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent first, buy later: a week with the 5000 answers the big questions.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Choosing the right one
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Within the 1983 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
