The 2004 Audi S4: before you buy

No 2004 Audi S4 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Here is the 2004 Audi S4 for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

A buyer's checks

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 29 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine and engine cooling, power train and engine. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

Under the hood

The 4.2L 8-cylinder does the work, through a 6-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

Plan on about 39 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 13.1 L/100 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $229.30 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,550 a year for 15,000 miles.

A good match for

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.

Size and space

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. With a length of 4.59 m, it counts as mid-size. It fits most condo and driveway spots. Luggage space is rated at 793 litres: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

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. Drive the S4 on your commute before you commit to it. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

Narrowing it down

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

Running costs

A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $22.93 in fuel.

A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.

Rent it for a week before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2004 Audi S4 from us first.
