A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the figures tell you
Its 4.2L 8-cylinder drives through 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.
Expect about 39 litres for every 300 km, going by its 13.1 L/100 km combined rating. Driving 300 km costs roughly $68.79 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
When the A8 makes sense
Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Living with the A8
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The EPA measures its luggage space at 425 litres, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
A week with the A8 answers more than any brochure. A test week in the A8 tells you more than any review. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Narrowing it down
Within the 2009 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $229.30 at our price setting.
