The 1999 Audi A6 for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1999 Audi A6 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. The 1999 Audi A6 for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Recalls and complaints
Owners filed 217 complaints with NHTSA, most often about fuel system, service brakes and electrical system; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Reading the spec sheet
The powertrain here is the 2.8L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed automatic. 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 12.4 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 37 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $217. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space and size
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. It is 4.88 m long. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Its 425 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.
A good match for
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the A6 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent the A6 for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the A6 answers the big questions.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. 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.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Ready when you are
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
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 1999 Audi A6 from us first.
