Thinking of buying the 1999 Audi A6?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1999 Audi A6 for sale by us right now. This page puts the 1999 Audi A6 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA has 217 owner complaints on file, mostly about fuel system, service brakes and electrical system. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. There are 8 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
The figures, translated
It runs the 2.8L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. 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.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 37 litres, from its 12.4 L/100 km rating. Driving 300 km costs roughly $65.10 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the A6
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Practical details
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. At 4.88 m long, it is on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot. The EPA lists 425 litres for luggage, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent it for a week first
Drive the A6 on your commute before you commit to it. A test week in the A6 tells you more than any review. Try the A6 on your commute, then decide.
Year and trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 1999 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Money matters
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Ask us
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 1999 Audi A6 from us first.
