Audi A8-L keeps an estimated 44% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #589 of 684 cars VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Audi A8-L retains an estimated 44% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #589 of 684 cars we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Luxury in its class by 11 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Audi A8-L sheds about 11% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $86,500 it falls to around $38,060 by year five — a five-year loss near $48,440, about $26.54 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Audi A8-L bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
