| 2023 | 164 | 34.8% |
| 2016 | 163 | 30.1% |
These higher-volume years tend to draw more shoppers because they offer more inventory to compare and more chances to find a well-priced example. They also give you a broader selection of trims, mileage levels, and condition profiles.
What is the Audi A8's resale value?
| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Over-Year Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | $35,609 | −17.94% |

| 2015 | $15,588 | −5.76% |
| 2014 | $13,720 | −5.21% |
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, while the smaller declines suggest some older examples have moved more gradually.
The 2014, 2015, and 2019 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 −17.94% versus a year ago, and the 2019 model is at −9.8%.
- Deal availability: The 2019 model has 34.1% 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 the next model year's inventory to build up.

Great car with all the options that you can’t find on a diesel equipped car , that is why the asking price is so high it again make sure you have a good mechanic as a friend to keep it in the same shape and condition .

One very rare car , I will compare it with my 760 Li 12 cylinders , it has couple more options like the seats rear roof window and extra dedicated special control for message , But the best of all is that is a diesel car and very rarely you can find one with those options .

Overview
The Audi A8 replaces the old Audi V8, discontinued in 1994. It is the top-end of Audi's luxury sedan class, which includes the A4 and A6, offering full-size comfort, but the handling and maneuverability of a much smaller car, thanks to some technological innovations.
Audi is known for elegantly-appointed interiors, with loads of standard features that make the word "options" obsolete. Over its history, the A8 only continued to add on, offering leather seats, 16-way adjustable front seats, front and rear lumbar support, a solar sunroof, rear window shades, front and rear climate control, heated seats and steering wheel, and massaging seats. Again, these are all standard. Audi figures we spend so much time in our cars, they must satisfy a variety of needs -- from the roominess and cargo space of families, to the sophisticated quiet luxury of business clients, to the personal quest for driving excitement. The Audi A8 offers all of these in a classically styled, understated package.
Some of the A8's innovations contribute to its precise, yet powerful performance. The A8 was the first U.S. car to feature an aluminum body, engine, and suspension. The Audi Space Frame technology greatly reduced the weight of this full-size sedan, thereby increasing fuel economy and engine performance on the highway. It handled more nimbly than comparably-sized cars, but the aluminum gave it more rigidity for tighter control on the road. Audi's continued quattro technology remains unbeaten, even by SUVs, in the way it attacks snow and ice. An adaptive air suspension system, introduced recently, allows the driver to adjust the suspension to specific road conditions for maximum balance and performance.
Audi has always suffered from a poor customer service reputation and costly maintenance records. But overall, drivers feel the A8 far surpasses its German brethren in terms of quality build and interior comfort, and the AWD is one of the best out there. The A8's understated exterior often causes it to be overlooked, but its technical advances and creature comforts seem to strike the right balance of form and function without overwhelming its passengers.
