Buying the 2012 Audi A4
No 2012 Audi A4 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. For anyone shopping for the 2012 Audi A4, here are the facts that matter.
What to check on the A4
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 45 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, electrical system and fuel/propulsion system. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Under the hood
The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Plan on about 28 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 9.4 L/100 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $49.35 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
The A4 in everyday use
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The EPA measures its luggage space at 340 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Best uses
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent first, buy later: a week with the A4 answers the big questions. Drive the A4 on your commute before you commit to it. Try the A4 on your commute, then decide.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Year and trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
