The table shows a clear downward move in pricing, which can work in your favor if you're shopping used.

Should I buy a used Audi RS 5 now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2018 model is at −9.82% versus a year ago.
• Deal availability: The 2018 model has 19.4% good and great deals.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2019 model has the most listings.

If you're buying used today, the 2019 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.
