Buying the 2016 Audi A6
No 2016 Audi A6 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before buying the 2016 Audi A6, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the A6
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
The numbers in plain words
The 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo does the work, through an 8-speed automatic. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
By the EPA's combined rating of 7.9 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 24 litres. Expect about $12.25 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Size and space
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. At 453 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Drive it on your own roads
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the A6 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Drive the A6 on your commute before you commit to it.
What it costs to run
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. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. 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.
