Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2020 models.

What Audi S4 do most buyers choose?

The Audi S4 years with the most listings are 2019, 2022, and 2018.

These higher-volume years tend to be the easiest places to shop because you get more inventory to compare, which can help you find the right combination of price, condition, and equipment. They also often attract the broadest buyer interest, which is why they show up so prominently in the used market.

What is the Audi S4's resale value?

The table shows downward movement across all three model years, which can work in your favor if you're shopping used. One year has a sharp drop, while the others show smaller declines, so recent pricing has generally softened rather than climbed. The 2019 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year. The 2019, 2018, and 2023 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Audi S4 now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2023 model is at −8.28% versus a year ago, and the 2019 model is at −0.43%.
• Deal availability: The 2023 model has 31.5% good and great deals, and the 2019 model has 29.8%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2019 model has the most listings at a current average price of $30,132.

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 2026 inventory to mature.
