The 2003 Audi A4 for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2003 Audi A4 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. 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 helps you judge the 2003 Audi A4 before you buy one anywhere.
Before you sign for the A4
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
The figures, translated
The powertrain to know here is the 1.8L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
A combined rating of 10.2 L/100 km works out to about 31 litres per 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $53.55 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
When the A4 makes sense
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
What the A4 is like
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Length: 4.58 m. It fits most condo and driveway spots. The EPA measures its luggage space at 368 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Try the A4 on your commute, then decide.
Narrowing it down
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
What it costs to run
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Talk to a person
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
