The 2004 Audi A8 for buyers
No 2004 Audi A8 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page puts the 2004 Audi A8 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the A8
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
The numbers in plain words
The powertrain here is the 4.2L 8-cylinder with all-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
By the EPA's combined rating of 13.1 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 39 litres. That works out to about $22.93 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
How big it is
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The body is 5.19 m long and 1.89 m wide. Check the size of a tight parking spot. The EPA measures its luggage space at 425 litres, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.
Try before you buy
Rent the A8 for a week and see how it fits your life. 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
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
Narrowing it down
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2004 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
