CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1982 Audi 5000; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Buying the 1982 Audi 5000 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the 5000
NHTSA has 2 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train and vehicle speed control. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Engine and fuel
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
What to expect from the 5000
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Rent it for a week first
If the 5000 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. Try the 5000 on your commute, then decide.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Choosing the right one
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Talk to a person

Rent it for a week before you buy
