There are many reasons why you might consider choosing a diesel engine over petrol when looking for a used car. If you are looking to buy a diesel Audi then there are plenty of choices available to you. The Quattro range of Audis is just one type you could consider buying.

The Audi S Quattro is a fine example of a diesel model with front wheel drive and a manual gearbox. The car has a top speed of 230 km/h and reaches in just 8.4 seconds a speed of 100 km/h, so it's quick off the mark. Fuel consumption is at a rate of around 6.7 litres of diesel per every 100km. The car is also fitted with a particulate filter as standard.

The A4 Saloon is another excellent choice of car if you are looking for a diesel Audi. The cars engine is classed as being powerful and super efficient and also fitted with particulate filters that fully comply with the EU5 standards for emission.

The diesel engines on the Audi models are completely modern units featuring either six or four cylinders. The most powerful of them available for the A4 model has a torque range that falls between 1,5000 to 3,0000 rpm and has a top speed of 155 mph. From the standstill position the car can easily reach a speed of 63mph in just over 1 second.

Of course when buying any second hand model there are certain factors that you need to check out before you go ahead and purchase. One of the first considerations is how you would pay for the car. There are many finance options available depending on your circumstances. You credit score will govern the rate of interest you will be set for the loan. Other factors taken into account include such as how much you want to borrow, how long you wish to take the loan over and your ability to repay the loan. Looking for finance yourself as opposed to taking the loan offered at a car dealership will secure you the best possible deal.

Another factor you have to pay attention to when looking for a diesel Audi is the cost of the insurance. It is no good taking out the finance and buying a certain model of car if the insurance is going to be beyond your budget each year. Insurance premiums are based on how old you are and the size of the engine of the car you are buying. The larger engines sizes will be dearer to insure than a smaller. Security is another way you can bring your insurance down and as Audis focus on excellent security this car is a good choice. However it does not hurt to improve safety by installing such as immobilizer, a good quality car alarm and keeping the car off the road at night under lock and key. Of course if you are a younger driver then the insurance company will crack down due to you not having built up no claims bonus. Therefore checking to ensure that you would be able to afford the premiums is essential in your case.
