The 2000 Audi A6: before you buy

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2000 Audi A6 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. Before you buy the 2000 Audi A6, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

Recalls and complaints

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

The figures, translated

Power comes from the 2.7L 6-cylinder turbo, driving through a 5-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

Plan on about 39 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 13.1 L/100 km. 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.

Who it is for

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

How big it is

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. At 4.88 m from bumper to bumper, it is on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot. With 425 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes a family's bags for a long weekend.

A longer test drive

Try the A6 on your commute, then decide. Rent the A6 for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the A6 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

Year and trim

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Within the 2000 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.

Money matters

The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $22.93 in fuel.

Ready when you are

Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.

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 2000 Audi A6 from us first.
