Thinking of buying the 1981 Audi 4000?
No 1981 Audi 4000 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is what to know about the 1981 Audi 4000 before buying one.
Recalls and complaints
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
What the specs mean
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
What to expect from the 4000
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk.
When the 4000 makes sense
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Try before you buy
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Try the 4000 on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the 4000 answers the big questions.
What it costs to run
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. 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. Within the 1981 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
