Thinking of buying the 2000 Audi A8?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2000 Audi A8 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. This page puts the 2000 Audi A8 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
What to check on the A8
There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 3 complaints with NHTSA, most often about fuel system, seats and tires; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
What the figures tell you
The 4.2L 8-cylinder is what moves it, with all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
The combined figure, 13.1 L/100 km, means roughly 39 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $22.93 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
What to expect from the A8
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. It is 5.03 m long. Check the size of a tight parking spot. In plain terms, its 510 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.
A good match for
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
A longer test drive
Try the A8 on your commute, then decide. A test week in the A8 tells you more than any review. If the A8 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $22.93 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Year and trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Your move
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
