The 2016 Audi A6 for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2016 Audi A6 for sale by us right now. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. Here is the 2016 Audi A6 for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Before you sign for the A6
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. There are 3 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. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
The figures, translated
The 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with all-wheel drive. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
Fuel use is rated 7.9 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 24 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $12.25 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
How big it is
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. For luggage, 453 litres means a family's bags for a long weekend.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
A longer test drive
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. If the A6 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.25 in fuel.
Narrowing it down
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. 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.
When you know your dates
Send a request to rent the model you are thinking of buying.
