Car financing: the 2019 Audi RS
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2019 Audi RS 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 2019 Audi RS for buyers, in plain words.
Recalls and complaints
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. There are 7 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
Specs, explained
The 2.5L 5-cylinder turbo 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.
Fuel use is rated 10.5 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 32 litres. That works out to about $18.38 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who the RS suits
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
How big it is
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Measured bumper to bumper, it is 4.75 m. Check the size of a tight parking spot. With 283 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the RS first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Which one to look for
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$3,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.38 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $183.80 at our price setting.
