Buying an Audi A5 Sportback New vs Used

If you purchase a used Audi A5 Sportback that is 2 years old, then you could save $11,368 compared to buying new, and still have a relatively new model with plenty of useful life remaining. If you plan to keep this vehicle for 3 years then your total cost of depreciation would be $11,467. Try other age and ownership length combinations, or different vehicles to see if you can find depreciation sweetspots where this cost is the lowest. Hint: Try vehicles between 2 and 4 years old, as brand new vehicles depreciate quickly. Also, if this is a recently released model and buying a few years old isn't possible, consider another vehicle, or perhaps wait until more used A5 Sportback models become available.

What About Audi A5 Sportback Insurance Costs?

The average cost to insure an Audi A5 Sportback is about $3,212 per year. This adds up to around $16,060 after 5 years of vehicle ownership.
