The 2001 Audi S8: before you buy
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2001 Audi S8 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. Thinking about the 2001 Audi S8? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
What to check on the S8
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Reading the spec sheet
It uses the 4.2L 8-cylinder and all-wheel drive. 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.
It is rated at 15.7 L/100 km combined, so budget about 47 litres for 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $274.80 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$5,500 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Good uses for the S8
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
What to expect from the S8
Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. At 510 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the S8 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Drive the S8 on your commute before you commit to it.
Which one to look for
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$5,500 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 $27.48 in fuel.
