Audi S5 keeps an estimated 61% of its recent market value after 5 years — #207 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Audi S5 retains an estimated 61% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #207 of 530 cars we track. That is 7 points above the 54% five-year average for Luxury in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Audi S5 sheds about 11% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $58,595 it falls to around $35,567 by year five — a five-year loss near $23,028, about $12.62 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Audi S5 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
