The 2005 Audi S4: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2005 Audi S4; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. For anyone shopping for the 2005 Audi S4, here are the facts that matter.
Before you sign for the S4
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Specs, explained
It uses the 4.2L 8-cylinder and all-wheel drive. 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.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 44 litres, from its 14.7 L/100 km rating. That works out to about $25.73 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.
Living with the S4
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The body is 4.59 m long and 1.78 m wide. It fits most condo and driveway spots. For luggage, 793 litres means bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Who it is for
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Rent it for a week first
Rent first, buy later: a week with the S4 answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the S4 for a week and see how it fits your life.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$5,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $25.73 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $257.30 at our price setting.
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. Within the 2005 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
