What Audi A8 do most buyers choose?

The Audi A8 years with the most listings are 2020, 2014, and 2019.

Higher-volume years tend to draw more shopper attention because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right combination of price, condition, and features. They also often become the most practical starting points when you want both selection and deal opportunities.

What is the Audi A8's resale value?

The table shows broad downward movement across the model years listed, which can work in your favor if you're shopping used. Several years have seen double-digit drops, so recent-model buyers may find more room to negotiate than they would have a year ago. The 2014, 2017, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Audi A8 now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2021 model is at −14.73% versus a year ago, and the 2019 model is at −12.11%.
• Deal availability: The 2019 model has 33.5% good and great deals.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2020 model has the most listings.

If you're buying used today, the 2020 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the newest version, it may be worth waiting for 2028 inventory to mature.
