Audi - RS4 (2001)

The 2001 Audi RS4 was the first step into Audi’s high‑performance world, blending a robust V6 engine with sleek sport styling. The original launch price for a new 2001 Audi RS4 was well above the standard A4, positioned as a premium coupé with factory‑tuned performance. While the precise MSRP varied by trim, option package and market, the car quickly became a benchmark for those seeking an Audi that could feel fast on a street but also deliver regular usability. For anyone researching the Audi RS4 price, it’s worth noting that today’s listings reflect a build‑time price that set the stage for the model’s later reputation as a quick‑value depreciator.

Depreciation Insights:

When evaluating the Audi RS4 depreciation, it’s helpful to consider how performance models lose value compared to their entry‑level counterparts. Typically, the Audi RS4 can lose between 15–20 % of its value during the first year when new, largely due to the premium pricing and rapid technology updates. When a 2001 model has aged to a used car status, the depreciation curve flattens somewhat, with a slower yearly decline of around 7–9 %. Over a five‑year horizon, the 2001 RS4 may hold roughly 35–40 % of its original launch price, which aligns closely with the typical depreciation rate of similarly positioned luxury sports coupes.

As a consequence, the Audi RS4 price varies dramatically: a pristine 2001 unit in good condition may fetch between 30–35 % of the original MSRP, whereas a heavily used, high‑mileage example could see offers near 20–25 % of that figure. These numbers are indicative rather than definitive, and for anyone wondering what is a 2001 Audi RS4 worth, it’s essential to examine specific condition, mileage, and bundle history when drawing a valuation.
