Depreciation Insight
The Audi A4 depreciation curve is a consistent matter of study. In the first year after purchase, a new A4 typically loses 15–20% of its value as depreciation quickly stabilizes. From that point, you can expect a gradual decline of around 5–10% per year for the next three to five years, then leveling off as the vehicle ages further. These percentages reflect widespread dealer pricing patterns and online marketplace sales figures rather than promotional offers.
For a classic 1998 Audi A4, acquire its depreciation baseline: it may lose about 27% of its initial purchase price during the first year on the used market, and roughly 50–60% over a decade, making its used Audi A4 price a fraction of its original MSRP. These figures help gauge whether a given vehicle is a bargain or near valorized.
