Buying the 2020 Audi S3
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2020 Audi S3 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 what to know about the 2020 Audi S3 before buying one.
A buyer's checks
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 1 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Engine and fuel
It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and all-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
Combined fuel use is 9.5 L/100 km: about 29 litres for 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $16.63 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the S3
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.
Living with the S3
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The trunk holds 283 litres by the EPA's count: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. 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.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2020 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.
Running costs
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
