Buying the 2014 Audi S8
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2014 Audi S8; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before buying the 2014 Audi S8, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
What to check on the S8
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA has 6 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, engine and engine cooling and fuel/propulsion system.
Engine and fuel
Under the hood: the 4.0L 8-cylinder turbo and all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
It is rated 13.1 L/100 km combined: about 39 litres every 300 km. 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.
Who rents the S8
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Practical details
Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. For luggage, 425 litres means a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent it for a week first
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Drive the S8 on your commute before you commit to it. Try the S8 on your commute, then decide.
Choosing the right one
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Within the 2014 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $229.30 at our price setting. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
