Buying the 2012 Audi S4
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2012 Audi S4 for sale by us right now. This page puts the 2012 Audi S4 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the S4
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. 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.
What the specs mean
The 3.0L 6-cylinder supercharged, paired with a 7-speed automatic, drives it. 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 at 11.1 L/100 km combined, so budget about 33 litres for 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $194.30 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the S4
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
Room inside
As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Luggage space is rated at 368 litres: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
Rent the S4 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. 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.
Money matters
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Over to you
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 2012 Audi S4 from us first.
