Our Audi A4 Depreciation Analysis and Recommendations
You will lose a lot if you purchase a new Audi A4, but you can find some good deals on models that are two or three years old, as many come off lease. The A4 is a pretty reliable car, so let someone else buy it new, so that you can buy it for half price after three years on the road.
The 2018, 2016 & 2015 Audi A4 model years are currently the best values.
On average, expect to pay only 63% of the original cost with 83% of the vehicle's lifetime remaining for a 2018 A4. That gives it a Net Used Value score of 19.9 which factors in annual maintenance costs, price decline, reliable years left and available inventory.
Also consider the 2016 & 2015 A4 model years. Those currently have a generally low risk of any significant depreciation over the next several years.
Own a 2018 Audi A4?
While we would advise holding onto this vehicle for a few years, that's not always the plan. Dealers have access to similar figures so they know that your vehicle has a low risk of depreciation.
