Buying the 2007 Audi A3
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2007 Audi A3 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before buying the 2007 Audi A3, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the A3
There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 52 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, power train and engine; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Reading the spec sheet
The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Plan on about 28 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 9.4 L/100 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $164.50 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
Space and size
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. With 566 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Rent it for a week first
A week with the A3 answers more than any brochure. Rent the A3 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Try the A3 on your commute, then decide.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $164.50 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
