Audi S4-Sedan Depreciation & Resale Value

Audi S4-Sedan keeps an estimated 69% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #167 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 S4-Sedan retains an estimated 69% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #167 of 684 cars we track. That is 14 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 S4-Sedan sheds about 10% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $54,500 it falls to around $37,550 by year five — a five-year loss near $16,950, about $9.29 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Audi S4-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.
