The 2001 Audi S4 for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2001 Audi S4 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Buying the 2001 Audi S4 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
A buyer's checks
Owners filed 87 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and engine cooling and tires; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. 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.
Specs, explained
Its 2.7L 6-cylinder turbo drives through a 5-speed automatic. 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.
Rated at 13.1 L/100 km combined, it needs around 39 litres for a 300 km round trip. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $229.30. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Living with the S4
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The EPA measures its luggage space at 878 litres, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
When the S4 makes sense
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
Drive it on your own roads
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. Rent first, buy later: a week with the S4 answers the big questions.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $22.93 in fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Over to you
