Audi - A5 (2008)
Looking for an Audi A5 price that balances luxury, performance, and value? The 2008 Audi A5 has long been a favorite among buyers who want a sporty, premium coupe at a more affordable starting point. Even though the car first hit the market six years ago, it still attracts steady demand today, and you’ll often find that its resale value has steadied after a steep dip in the first couple of years.
Here’s a snapshot to help you quickly assess a 2008 Audi A5’s key specs, how it holds its value and why it remains a top pick for premium coupe shoppers in the used‑car market.

Depreciation Insight: The 2008 Audi A5, like most premium vehicles, experiences a rapid initial drop in value. You’ll typically see a loss of 15‑20 % of its original price in the first year. After that, the downward trend slows to about 10 % per year for the next few years, before plateauing. Over a 5‑year horizon, many owners report an overall depreciation of roughly 45‑50 % from the new‑car retail price, depending on mileage, mileage, and trim level.
Understanding depreciation is crucial when you wonder, “What is a 2008 Audi A5 worth?” The answer varies widely—often between 30‑40 % of the original price—because factors like mileage, maintenance history, and condition of interior trim can push a specific car above or below that range. Rather than rely on a single figure, compare recent similar listings in your area, and watch for reputable dealer or private‑seller sourcing algorithms that flag price inconsistencies.
Comparison Context: Compared to sibling models, the 2008 Audi A5 sits comfortably against the BMW 4 Series, Mercedes‑C coupe, and the Acura TLX. Buyers tend to appreciate the A5’s sharper handling and more efficient TFSI engine. While the BMW might edge out in outright power with a larger naturally‑aspirated V6, or the C‑Class with its quieter interior, the A5 solidifies itself as a well‑balanced choice for driven drivers who value design and technological features over sheer horsepower.
Market Position: The Audi A5 remains popular across the premium luxury coupe
