The 2010 Audi A5 for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2010 Audi A5 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2010 Audi A5, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. 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. Owners filed 50 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, engine and structure; have those parts checked.
What the figures tell you
Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through an automatic (CVT). 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.
By the EPA's combined rating of 9.0 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 27 litres. In money, 1,000 km costs about $157.50 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,150 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Size and space
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Measured bumper to bumper, it is 4.64 m. It fits most condo and driveway spots. Its 283 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent the A5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent the A5 first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Which one to look for
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.75 in fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$3,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Over to you
