The 2013 Audi A3 for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2013 Audi A3; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Buying the 2013 Audi A3 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
What the specs mean
Under the hood: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
At 7.4 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 22 litres of fuel. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $11.47 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,000 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits people who want car handling with extra load space. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
What to expect from the A3
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. For luggage, 566 litres means bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Try before you buy
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent first, buy later: a week with the A3 answers the big questions. If the A3 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Choosing the right one
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$3,000 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.47 in fuel.
Next step
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
Rent it for a week before you buy
