The 2001 Audi S8 for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2001 Audi S8; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. Here is what to know about the 2001 Audi S8 before buying one.
Recalls and complaints
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Reading the spec sheet
The powertrain here is the 4.2L 8-cylinder with all-wheel drive and a 5-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.
Fuel use is rated 15.7 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 47 litres. That works out to about $27.48 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$5,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
What to expect from the S8
Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Its 510 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Try the S8 on your commute, then decide. Rent the S8 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Within the 2001 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$5,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $27.48 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $274.80 at our price setting.
