Buying the 1990 Audi 100
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1990 Audi 100 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is the 1990 Audi 100 for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Recalls and complaints
Owners filed 4 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine and engine cooling, fuel system and electrical system; have those parts checked. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
The figures, translated
Under the hood: the 2.3L 5-cylinder and all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
The EPA rates it at 13.1 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 39 litres. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $20.31. The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Inside and out
Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. EPA lists 481 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the 100 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week with the 100 answers more than any brochure.
Which one to look for
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 1990 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$3,700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.31 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
