Buying the 2018 Audi Q3
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2018 Audi Q3 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. The 2018 Audi Q3 for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Before you sign for the Q3
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 26 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked.
The numbers in plain words
The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
At 10.1 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 30 litres of fuel. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $176.80. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Living with the Q3
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. In plain terms, its 481 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.
Best uses
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Drive it on your own roads
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Try the Q3 on your commute, then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Which one to look for
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
