The 2003 Audi S8 for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2003 Audi S8 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 2003 Audi S8 for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
What to check on the S8
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. 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. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
The numbers in plain words
Under the hood: 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.
Plan on about 44 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 14.7 L/100 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $77.19 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$5,150 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. EPA lists 510 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Good uses for the S8
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Drive it on your own roads
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 and see how it fits your life. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
What it costs to run
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $257.30 at our price setting. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
Narrowing it down
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
