The 2000 Audi A8 for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2000 Audi A8 for sale by us right now. Before buying the 2000 Audi A8, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the A8
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 3 owner complaints on file, mostly about fuel system, seats and tires. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Engine and fuel
The engine 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. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
A combined rating of 13.1 L/100 km works out to about 39 litres per 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $22.93 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
Inside and out
As a large sedan, it is easy to drive and park in the city. It is 5.03 m long. Check the size of a tight parking spot. At 510 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent it for a week first
If the A8 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. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Narrowing it down
Within the 2000 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Money matters
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. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $229.30 at our price setting.
