Audi S4 Depreciation: Realistic Estimates

Depreciation is a critical factor when evaluating any vehicle’s long‑term value. In the case of the Audi S4:

• Within the first year, you can expect to see a value drop of roughly 15‑20 %—largely because new models and refreshed styling boost demand for newer units.
• From years 3 to 5, the S4’s depreciation rate typically slows, averaging about 12‑15 % per year as the car establishes itself in the used‑car market.
• Beyond the five‑year mark, the S4’s resale value generally stabilizes, though gold‑trim trims or low‑odometer examples may retain slightly higher worth.

This trend reflects the general pattern seen in comparable performance sedans, where premium braking and engine reliability help the vehicle hold its value better than mass‑produced competitors.

Comparison Context: How the 2006 Audi S4 Stacks Up

When planning a buy, you naturally compare your target makes and models. The 2006 Audi S4 sits halfway between the more utilitarian BMW 3‑Series and the upscale Mercedes‑C Class. Key comparison points include:

• Engine & Power: The 3‑0 L supercharged V6 delivers a higher torque curve than the BMW 3‑Series 3.0 L straight‑six, giving it a quick acceleration edge. However, the Mercedes C-Class often offers a choice of a twin‑turbo inline‑4 that can rival the S4’s horsepower if tuned).
• All‑Wheel Drive: Quattro provides better traction in adverse weather—something the BMW 3‑Series and Mercedes C-Class don’t consistently offer in their base trims.
• Interior Quality: Audi’s MMI infotainment is user‑friendly, yet some owners note that Mercedes’ COMAND system offers more seamless connectivity options
