The 2010 Audi A6: before you buy
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2010 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. Before you buy the 2010 Audi A6, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Before you sign for the A6
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. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Under the hood
The powertrain to know here is the 3.2L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. 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.
The combined figure, 10.7 L/100 km, means roughly 32 litres for 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $187.20 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,750 a year for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. At 453 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Drive it on your own roads
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $187.20 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.72 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Which one to look for
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Over to you
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
