Depreciation Insight for the 2007 Audi S8

The luxury segment is known for noticeable but not catastrophic depreciation. For a V10 powerhouse like the Audi S8, typical depreciation patterns are:

• First year: Loss of 15–20% of purchase price due to the new vehicle depreciation curve.
• Second to third year: Avg. 8–12% annually as the vehicle hits the “used” tier, reflecting reduced novelty but still maintaining premium status.
• 5‑year mark: Total of 30–35% depreciation from original price, making the vehicle reach a stable, albeit lower, resale value.

This model’s high-performance features and strong brand equity mitigate depreciation compared to many non‑premium sedans. Consequently, a 2007 Audi S8 often trades hands at a price that reflects its historical prestige and robust engineering.

Market Comparison: 2007 Audi S8 vs. Similar Luxury Sedans

When positioned against comparable luxury sedans from the same era, the Audi S8 exhibits the following advantages:

• Performance: The V10 TFSI engine delivers 483 lb‑ft of torque, surpassing the 2007 Mercedes‑E 500 V8’s 302 lb‑ft and BMW 520i’s 320 lb‑ft.
• All‑Wheel Drive: The quattro system offers superior traction on mixed road conditions, a feature not standard on many competitors.
• Comfort and Design: The S8’s interior layout—center‑armrest, dual climate zones—creates an ambiance that feels “club‑style” more than the belt‑strap look of the BMW 520i.
• Technology: The in‑car digital instrument cluster, Bose audio, and advanced driver‑assist systems provided more state‑of‑the‑art functionality in 2007 than the older technology in the Mercedes‑E 500.

In terms of resale, the 2007 Audi S8 typically preserves 30–35% of its original MSRP five years after purchase, compared to 25–28% for the BMW 520i and 23–26% for the Mercedes‑E 500. This gives the S8 a higher market value for buyers who wish to invest in a luxury classic with notable performance components.
