Auto loans: the 2016 Audi S8
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2016 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 2016 Audi S8? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Before you sign for the S8
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
What the figures tell you
The powertrain here is the 4.0L 8-cylinder turbo with all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
It is rated at 13.1 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 39 litres. Every 100 km costs about $22.93 in fuel at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
The S8 in everyday use
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Luggage space is rated at 425 litres: a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the S8 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week with the S8 answers more than any brochure.
Narrowing it down
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$4,550 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.
Next step
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
Rent it for a week before you buy
