Audi S6 Depreciation & Resale Value

Audi S6 keeps an estimated 47% of its recent market value after 5 years — #416 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Audi S6 retains an estimated 47% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #416 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 54% five-year average for Luxury in its class by 7 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Audi S6 sheds about 16% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $76,595 it falls to around $35,923 by year five — a five-year loss near $40,672, about $22.29 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Audi S6 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
