Buying the 2008 Audi Q7
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2008 Audi Q7 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is the 2008 Audi Q7 for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
A buyer's checks
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 33 complaints with NHTSA, most often about fuel/propulsion system, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The numbers in plain words
Its powertrain is the 3.6L 6-cylinder with all-wheel drive. 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 44 litres, from its 14.7 L/100 km rating. That works out to about $25.73 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$5,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Space and size
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
A longer test drive
A test week in the Q7 tells you more than any review. Rent the Q7 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Try the Q7 on your commute, then decide.
Choosing the right one
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
Let us know
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
