Thinking of buying the 2014 Audi A8?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2014 Audi A8 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Buying the 2014 Audi A8 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the A8
There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Engine and fuel
Its 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo drives through an 8-speed automatic. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
A combined rating of 8.3 L/100 km works out to about 25 litres per 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $12.87. The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the A8
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Space and size
Being a large sedan, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. At 425 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent it for a week first
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Narrowing it down
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.87 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $128.70 at our price setting.
When you know your dates
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
Rent it for a week before you buy

Find me this car
