Thinking of buying the 1986 Audi 5000?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1986 Audi 5000 for sale by us right now. Thinking about the 1986 Audi 5000? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Before you sign for the 5000
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. There are 8 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. NHTSA has 15 owner complaints on file, mostly about vehicle speed control, electrical system and exterior lighting.
The numbers in plain words
The 2.2L 5-cylinder turbo, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Rated at 12.4 L/100 km combined, it needs around 37 litres for a 300 km round trip. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $19.22, and a 300 km weekend about $57.66. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Practical details
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. For luggage, 481 litres means a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
A week with the 5000 answers more than any brochure. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Drive the 5000 on your commute before you commit to it.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $192.20 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Ready to ask?
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
