Thinking of buying the 2017 Audi S8?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2017 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. Thinking about the 2017 Audi S8? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Before you sign for the S8
There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the figures tell you
The powertrain here is the 4.0L 8-cylinder turbo with all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
Rated at 13.4 L/100 km combined, it needs around 40 litres for a 300 km round trip. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $23.45 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the S8 suits
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Room inside
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The EPA lists 425 litres for luggage, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.
Drive it on your own roads
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the S8 first, and buy only if it fits your life. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $23.45 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $234.50 at our price setting.
