Buying the 2012 Audi A4
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2012 Audi A4 for sale by us right now. Buying the 2012 Audi A4 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
A buyer's checks
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 45 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, electrical system and fuel/propulsion system. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Engine and fuel
It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
At 9.4 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 28 litres of fuel. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $16.45. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who the A4 suits
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
Space and size
As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. EPA lists 340 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the A4 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A test week in the A4 tells you more than any review. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Which one to look for
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.45 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $164.50 at our price setting.
