Understanding the Audi S2 depreciation curve helps you gauge buying and selling potential. Historically, the 1996 model loses about 15‑20% of its initial value in the first year due to rapid depreciation satisfied by its unique status. From years two to five, the annual decline typically slows to 5‑10% as the vehicle enters the “classic” domain and gains collector interest.
Let’s dig into the numbers:
- Year 0–1: 15‑20% depreciation – $30,000 → $24,000‑$25,500
- Year 2–3: 5‑8% per annum – $24,000 → $22,440‑$22,000
- Year 4–5: 3‑5% per annum – $22,000 → $20,740‑$21,100
- Beyond 5 years: Stability or mild appreciation depending on market demand – values may hover or rise slightly as the model becomes rarer.
These figures are illustrative; the actual used Audi S2 price will fluctuate across different markets and condition brackets. Typically, a well‑maintained example with less than 30,000 km may fetch 30–35% more than a high‑mileage counterpart.
