Depreciation insight

Understanding how a vehicle’s value declines over time is essential when looking at Audi 80 depreciation. The Audi 80 1988 price range for new cars in 1988 varied by market and trim—typically around €12,000–€15,000 in Europe. Because of the model’s reputation for reliability and classic styling, a well‑maintained unit will generally hold value better than many contemporaries.

Year of Ownership Estimated Depreciation
First year 15‑20 % of original purchase price
Second year Additional 5‑7 %
Third to fifth year 3‑5 % per year, depending on mileage and condition
Beyond five years Valuation stabilizes at 50‑60 % of original value if regularly serviced

For example, a 1988 Audi 80 that originally cost €14,000 might trade for roughly €10,500–€11,800 after its first year, depending on condition, maintenance records, and regional demand. Over the next two to three years, the price might decline another ≈10‑12 %, bringing it to a realistic “used Audi 80 price” of around €8,800–€9,500—again subject to variations in mileage, engine health, and cosmetic condition.

Comparison context
