Depreciation Insight – How the Audi S3 Loses Value Over Time
Depreciation is a crucial factor when evaluating the worth of any used vehicle. The Audi S3 depreciation curve typically follows a common pattern for performance sedans:
- First year: 15‑20% drop from new price. This is largely due to the initial “new car” bump and early mileage.
- Year 2–3: 20‑25% cumulative loss, reflecting wear‑and‑tear and the aging of key components.
- Year 4–6: 30‑35% total depreciation. At this stage, most of the vehicle’s reserve value has been realized; its price often falls below the original class rival’s average.
- Year 7+: Depreciation slows but continues at roughly 3‑5% annually.
