Thinking of buying the 2014 Audi S8?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2014 Audi S8 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. This page sets out the 2014 Audi S8 for buyers, in plain words.
What to check on the S8
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 6 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, engine and engine cooling and fuel/propulsion system; have those parts checked.
What the specs mean
Power: the 4.0L 8-cylinder turbo; drive: all-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
It is rated at 13.1 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 39 litres. A 300 km weekend costs about $68.79 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. With 425 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes a family's bags for a long weekend.
A good match for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Rent it for a week first
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Drive the S8 on your commute before you commit to it. Try the S8 on your commute, then decide.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
When you know your dates
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
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 2014 Audi S8 from us first.
