Car financing: the 2016 Audi A8
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2016 Audi A8; this page helps you judge it 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 sets out the 2016 Audi A8 for buyers, in plain words.
A buyer's checks
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the figures tell you
Power: the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo; drive: all-wheel drive. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 25 litres, from its 8.3 L/100 km rating. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $12.87. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,400 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Practical details
As a large sedan, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The EPA lists 425 litres for luggage, roughly 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 client visits, weddings and special weekends.
Try before you buy
Rent the A8 for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the A8 first, and buy only if it fits your life. A week with the A8 answers more than any brochure.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.87 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $128.70 at our price setting.
Narrowing it down
Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. 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.
