2021 Market Review - Audi 1992-2008
With pre-1995 cars already gone or on the brink of extinction, Audi fans need to consider 21st century models and the glut of cars in the $5000-20,000 price bracket.
If you need a compact commuter car that’s a bit flash, lock onto an A3 at under $8000. For more space and the option of a convertible top, try an A4 Turbo Quattro at similar money.
In the realms of luxury and performance, $20,000 will buy a bulky A8 or the nimble S4 which shares the A8’s 4.2-litre engine.
For posing down at the beach, early TT coupes can cost less than $10,000, with late-model Cabriolets around $20,000.
RS4 wagons are fast, exclusive and still $50,000 but for real rocket-ship looks and performance it must be an R8 at $100K+.
