Buying an Audi Q5 New vs Used

If you purchase a used Audi Q5 that is 2 years old, then you could save $5,375 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 $15,412. 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 Q5 models become available.

What About Audi Q5 Insurance Costs?

The average cost to insure an Audi Q5 is about $1,907 per year. This adds up to around $9,535 after 5 years of vehicle ownership.
