Buying the 2007 Audi A8
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2007 Audi A8 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page sets out the 2007 Audi A8 for buyers, in plain words.
Before you sign for the A8
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA has 4 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, fuel/propulsion system and unknown or other. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
The figures, translated
Power: the 4.2L 8-cylinder; drive: 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.
Plan on about 39 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 13.1 L/100 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $22.93, and a 300 km weekend about $68.79. 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 is easy to drive and park in the city. Luggage space is rated at 425 litres: a family's bags for a long weekend.

The cost of driving it
