The 1985 Audi Quattro for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1985 Audi Quattro for sale by us right now. Before buying the 1985 Audi Quattro, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. 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. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Reading the spec sheet
Its 2.1L 5-cylinder turbo drives through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
Rated at 13.8 L/100 km combined, it needs around 41 litres for a 300 km round trip. For 1,000 km, budget about $213.90 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,950 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Practical details
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Luggage space is rated at 227 litres: about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Quattro answers the big questions.
Year and trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 1985 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Running costs
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $213.90 at our price setting.
