Audi S8 keeps an estimated 43% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #459 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Audi S8 retains an estimated 43% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #459 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 54% 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 S8 sheds about 4% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $130,000 it falls to around $55,640 by year five — a five-year loss near $74,360, about $40.75 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Audi S8 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
