What Audi A8 do most buyers choose?

The Audi A8 years with the most listings are 2020, 2022, and 2014.

Higher-volume years tend to draw more shoppers because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right combination of price, condition, and equipment. They also tend to be easier to shop quickly when you want a broader selection of listings.

What is the Audi A8's resale value?

The table shows broad downward movement across the model years listed, which can create better opportunities for used buyers. Several of the declines are double-digit drops, so recent pricing shifts are meaningful rather than minor. The 2014, 2019, 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 −14.38% versus a year ago, and the 2019 model is at −9.86%.
• 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.
