Thinking of buying the 2005 Audi A6?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2005 Audi A6; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Buying the 2005 Audi A6 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the A6
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA has 91 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, electrical system and service brakes. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Under the hood
The powertrain to know here is the 3.1L 6-cylinder, with all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
A combined rating of 12.4 L/100 km works out to about 37 litres per 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $217. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
What to expect from the A6
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Length: 4.92 m. Check the size of a tight parking spot. The EPA lists 453 litres for luggage, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who rents the A6
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.
Drive it on your own roads
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the A6 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week with the A6 answers more than any brochure.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.70 in fuel.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Within the 2005 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Questions first?
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
