Per VINdown's modeling, the Audi A6-Sedan retains an estimated 51% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #481 of 684 cars we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Luxury in its class by 4 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Audi A6-Sedan sheds about 18% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $58,100 it falls to around $29,863 by year five — a five-year loss near $28,237, about $15.47 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Audi A6-Sedan bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
