Should I buy a used Audi A5 now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2023 model is at −11.54% versus a year ago, and the 2019 model is at −0.2%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the newest version, it may be worth waiting for 2027 inventory to mature.
