The 2013 Audi A5: before you buy
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2013 Audi A5 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is what to know about the 2013 Audi A5 before buying one.
What to check on the A5
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 for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
The numbers in plain words
It runs the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. 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.
It is rated at 8.9 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 27 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $15.58, and a 300 km weekend about $46.74. The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Its 283 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Best uses
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
A longer test drive
A week with the A5 answers more than any brochure. Drive the A5 on your commute before you commit to it. Rent first, buy later: a week with the A5 answers the big questions.
What it costs to run
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. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Still deciding?
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
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 2013 Audi A5 from us first.
