Audi S3 price by model year
| Year | Typical price | Spread | Listings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2017 | — | 6 | |
| 2016 | — | 13 |
A spread near 1.5× means the market agrees what a Audi S3 of that year is worth. Past 3× the listings mix tidy examples with tired ones, and a careful buyer can do well — but the exact figure for one car depends on its mileage and history, which is what the valuation tool is for.
Dealer or private seller
Both figures are measured against the median for the same model year, so age is out of the comparison and what remains is the markup itself.
| Seller | Listings | vs median year | Average asked |

How we count
The Audi S3 figures here come from 66 live listings, 2008–2025 — asking prices, not sale prices. Sellers ask more than they get, so treat these as the top of the range, not the bottom.
Percentages here are never plain averages: each listing is first turned into its ratio against the median for its own model year, and those ratios are averaged instead. Without that step the numbers lie confidently — a flat average across 2008–2025 would mostly measure which years happen to be for sale this week. Slices too thin to survive the test are dropped rather than dressed up with an error bar, which for the Audi S3 leaves 2 model years standing. The full method, with the traps it avoids →
