The 2011 Audi A8 for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2011 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 helps you judge the 2011 Audi A8 before you buy one anywhere.
What to check on the A8
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Under the hood
The 4.2L 8-cylinder with all-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 34 litres, from its 11.4 L/100 km rating. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $19.95, and a 300 km weekend about $59.85. The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the A8
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Space, size and seats
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. In plain terms, its 368 litres of luggage space hold about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
Try the A8 on your commute, then decide. Rent the A8 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent first, buy later: a week with the A8 answers the big questions.
Choosing the right one
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. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $199.50 at our price setting. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
