The 2002 Audi A6: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2002 Audi A6 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. Here is what to know about the 2002 Audi A6 before buying one.
Recalls and complaints
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
What the figures tell you
It uses the 3.0L 6-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 37 litres, from its 12.4 L/100 km rating. Expect about $21.70 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the A6
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Size and space
Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The EPA measures its luggage space at 425 litres, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
A week with the A6 answers more than any brochure. Rent the A6 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent the A6 first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Picking a year and a trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Within the 2002 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
The cost of driving it
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. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.70 in fuel.
