Buying the 2005 Audi A4
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2005 Audi A4 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. Here is the 2005 Audi A4 for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Before you sign for the A4
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Reading the spec sheet
The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Expect about 29 litres for every 300 km, going by its 9.8 L/100 km combined rating. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $51.45 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,400 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space, size and seats
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. At 4.59 m from bumper to bumper, it is mid-size. It fits most condo and driveway spots. Luggage space is 368 litres, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who rents the A4
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Drive it on your own roads
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Money matters
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.15 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $171.50 at our price setting.
Choosing the right one
Within the 2005 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Talk to a person
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2005 Audi A4 from us first.
