How well does a Audi hold its value?

Resale value is everything when you sell or trade. Because ForCar prices from the live market, you see how a Audi actually depreciates — here's the median value by age across the brand's models, from real listings (compare with the typical depreciation curve by age):

FIG.02·Audi Depreciation Curve — Value by Age
1 yr3 yrs5 yrs7 yrs9 yrs10 yrs$38,215$33,171$40,422$21,829$14,061$13,840
RANGE $38,215 → $13,840·SOURCE ForCar · Audi

A Audi worth about $38,215 at one year old is typically down to ~$40,422 by five years — roughly -6% lost in the first five years. Open any model above for its own year-by-year curve.

Which Audi holds its value best?

Not every Audi depreciates the same. This is 5-year value retention by model — how much of its price each keeps after five years on the used market (higher = holds value better):

Retention = the median resale price of a ~5-year-old model versus a current one, from real listings. Luxury and high-powered trims usually drop hardest; practical, in-demand models hold on.

Does Audi hold value better than other brands?

Every brand we price, ranked by how much of its newest price a five-year-old car still asks — the median across that brand's models. Audi sits at #31 of 40, against a market median of 55%.

Two cars of the same year and badge rarely cost the same — trim, condition and seller move the number. Across Audi, the gap between cheap and dear runs about 46% of the median. The band shows the low-to-high range, the line is the median.

Trade-in, private-party & dealer price

On Audi listings the dealer retail price (134% of median) runs about 1.7× the trade-in offer (77%) — the gap you're negotiating.

Trading in or selling your Audi?

Know all three numbers before you walk in. Trade-in is fastest but lowest; selling private-party nets the most; a dealer's asking price shows the ceiling. ForCar's range gives you the leverage to negotiate from real data, not a salesperson's screen.

Audi value FAQ

How much is my Audi worth?

It depends on the model, year and mileage. ForCar gives a free instant range from real Audi listings — pick your model and year above for the trade-in, private-party and dealer price.

Which Audi holds its value best?

Resale varies a lot by model. Open any Audi model above to see its real depreciation — how its market price drops year by year — so you can compare which ones hold value.

Is the Audi value free?

Yes — every estimate is free with no signup, based on real US market listings rather than a subscription book value.

How is this different from Kelley Blue Book?

Book sites estimate from their own model. ForCar shows what Audis are actually listed for right now on the open market — updated continuously.

Is this a free Audi Blue Book alternative?

Yes. ForCar is a free, no-signup alternative to Kelley Blue Book and NADA for Audi values — instead of a private formula, you see real asking prices for every Audi model, updated daily.

Audi values from real US market listings, aggregated per model and year. For exact specs decode your VIN; for book values see KBB/NADA. Last updated Sep 2026. — ForCar Reviewed by , founder of ForCar.
