Buying the 2015 Audi A8
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2015 Audi A8; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2015 Audi A8, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. 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.
The numbers in plain words
The 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo, paired with an 8-speed automatic, drives it. 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.
Fuel use is rated 8.3 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 25 litres. That works out to about $12.87 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
The A8 in everyday use
As a large sedan, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. With 425 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes a family's bags for a long weekend.
Drive it on your own roads
A week with the A8 answers more than any brochure. Try the A8 on your commute, then decide. Rent the A8 for a week and see how it fits your life.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 2015 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
The cost of driving it
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. The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
