Buying the 2011 Audi R8
No 2011 Audi R8 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 2011 Audi R8 before buying one.
What to check on the R8
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 1 complaints with NHTSA, most often about suspension; have those parts checked.
Under the hood
Power: the 4.2L 8-cylinder; drive: all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
It is rated 14.8 L/100 km combined: about 44 litres every 300 km. Expect about $25.90 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$5,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
The R8 in everyday use
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
When the R8 makes sense
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move.
Try before you buy
Rent the R8 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the R8 for a week and see how it fits your life.
Running costs
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Choosing the right one
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
