Default with audi's history on resale value i would guess to say half of what you paid? 2000 a8's sell for

less then $25K now and they were over $60K new.

Default One meeeelion dollars! <more>

All kidding aside, I think that the usual depreciation tables will not apply to the RS6. I have been setting bucks aside for an eventual upgrade to an RS6 coming off lease in 3 or 4 years, but remember, Audi only made so many of these...I would expect high 40's or low 50's for an RS6 nearing expiration of the 4yr/50k warranty in 2007. Maybe I'm being pessimistic and over-estimating, but that's what I am using to budget my pennies.

Of course, in 2007, wouldn't it be nice to find one under Certified Pre-Owned?

Default Audi depreciation used to be a pretty solid 12% per year, but

with the increasing popularity of 3 year leases, resale values seem to hit 50% at about 3.5 years which is more like 18% depreciation.

I'd think the RS6 may well hold value a little stronger (after an initial $15-$20k drop).

Default Audi is not alone in not good resale value

In fact, Jaguar's, Land Rover's and most American cars' resale values are worse than Audi's resale value. Infiniti's resale value is about the same as Audi's. An extrordinarily obvious exception is the previous A8, whose resale value is just as bad as or worse than all of the above.

Around $35,000-40,000, assuming ~50k miles.
