Buying the 2013 Audi A3
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2013 Audi A3 for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page sets out the 2013 Audi A3 for buyers, in plain words.
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. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 20 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, engine and fuel/propulsion system; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Engine and fuel
The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Plan on about 22 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.4 L/100 km. At our price setting, it costs about $11.47 to drive 100 km. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,000 a year for 15,000 miles.
Practical details
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. The EPA measures its luggage space at 566 litres, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Who the A3 suits
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Try before you buy
Rent the A3 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.47 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,000 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Picking a year and a trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Within the 2013 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
