Buying the 2004 Audi S4
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2004 Audi S4 for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. For anyone shopping for the 2004 Audi S4, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA has 29 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine and engine cooling, power train and engine. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Under the hood
The powertrain here is the 4.2L 8-cylinder with all-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 39 litres, from its 13.1 L/100 km rating. That works out to about $22.93 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Good uses for the S4
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
The S4 in everyday use
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The body is 4.59 m long and 1.77 m wide. It fits most condo and driveway spots. At 793 litres, the trunk fits bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the S4 for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the S4 answers the big questions. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Narrowing it down
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $22.93 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
