The numbers in plain words
It uses the 4.2L 8-cylinder and all-wheel drive. 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.
Plan on about 39 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 13.1 L/100 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $229.30. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Is it right for your trip?
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
The A8 in everyday use
Being a large sedan, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Luggage space is rated at 510 litres: a family's bags for a long weekend.
Try before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Narrowing it down
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. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $229.30 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $22.93 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
