Thinking of buying the 2009 Audi A8?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2009 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. Thinking about the 2009 Audi A8? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Recalls and complaints
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. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
Under the hood
The engine is the 4.2L 8-cylinder, with all-wheel drive and a 6-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.
A combined rating of 13.1 L/100 km works out to about 39 litres per 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $22.93, and a 300 km weekend about $68.79. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
Being a large sedan, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. EPA lists 425 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who the A8 suits
Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
A longer test drive
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the A8 for a week and see how it fits your life.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $229.30 at our price setting. 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.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 2009 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. 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.
