Thinking of buying the 2002 Audi A8?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2002 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 sets out the 2002 Audi A8 for buyers, in plain words.
Before you sign for the A8
Owners filed 1 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine and engine cooling; have those parts checked. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Engine and fuel
The engine is the 4.2L 8-cylinder, with all-wheel drive and a 5-speed automatic. 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.
A combined rating of 13.1 L/100 km works out to about 39 litres per 300 km. That works out to about $22.93 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
How big it is
As a large sedan, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Luggage space is 510 litres, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
A good match for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Try before you buy
Rent the A8 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If the A8 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. 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.
Year and trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
