Audi RS-6 Depreciation & Resale Value

Audi RS-6 keeps an estimated 67% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #183 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 RS-6 retains an estimated 67% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #183 of 684 cars we track. That is 12 points above the 55% five-year average for Luxury in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Audi RS-6 sheds about 3% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $130,700 it falls to around $87,961 by year five — a five-year loss near $42,739, about $23.42 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Audi RS-6 bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
