Auto loans: the 2000 Audi A8
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2000 Audi A8 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. Before you buy the 2000 Audi A8, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Recalls and complaints
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
The numbers in plain words
It uses the 4.2L 8-cylinder and all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
It is rated 13.1 L/100 km combined: about 39 litres every 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $229.30 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
How big it is
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. With a length of 5.03 m, it counts as on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot. The EPA measures its luggage space at 510 litres, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.
Drive it on your own roads
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If the A8 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the A8 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Choosing the right one
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. 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. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
