Thinking of buying the 1990 Audi V8?

Before you sign for the V8
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 8 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, vehicle speed control and equipment; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the specs mean
The powertrain here is the 3.6L 8-cylinder with all-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
Rated at 15.7 L/100 km combined, it needs around 47 litres for a 300 km round trip. In energy, every 100 km costs about $24.34 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,450 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Practical details
Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. At 481 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.
Is it right for your trip?
Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Drive it on your own roads
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A test week in the V8 tells you more than any review. Rent first, buy later: a week with the V8 answers the big questions.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $24.34 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Narrowing it down
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Within the 1990 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
