Audi
Generation, trim and quattro, priced apart
Audi has replaced several models recently, including a new Q5 and A5 for 2025 and a new Q3 and A6 for 2026, so we price your car by its exact generation and trim. On a lease, Audi Financial Services may require a buyout first.
The models we buy most.
Q5
2018-2024 (2nd gen), 2025- (3rd gen)

The Q8, the V8 SQ8 and the RS Q8 are priced far apart. On a Q8, the Prestige trim and S line package count.
Q4 e-tron

e-tron and Q8 e-tron
2019-2023 (e-tron), 2024 (renamed Q8 e-tron; production ended in early 2025)
Electric midsize SUV
On a 2019-2022 e-tron or e-tron Sportback, the battery module recall status counts, then full-charge range.

High-performance wagon
Carbon ceramic brakes, the Executive package and the later RS 6 Avant performance version are all priced in. Unmodified cars with records sit at the top.
What moves the price.
S and RS models
Priced above the standard cars, and highest when unmodified with records.
Trim level
Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige are priced apart, as are the S line and Black optic packages. Your VIN tells us the trim, and photos show the packages.
Engine and quattro
The 45 and 55 badges mark different engines, and quattro is priced against front-drive versions of the same model. A photo of the rear badge shows both.
e-tron battery and recalls
Full-charge range and any open battery recall matter on an electric Audi, including recalls on 2019-2022 e-tron and 2024-2025 Q4 e-tron models.
Prepaid maintenance
Audi Care covers 2025 and older cars, and from 2026, Audi Signature Care is included for 3 years or 30,000 miles. Records of the visits support the price.
Leased Audi: likely a buyout first
Audi Financial Services (VW Credit, Inc.)
Audi Financial Services is run by VW Credit, Inc., which appears on 2026 lists of lenders whose leases outside buyers can’t pay off. If that applies to yours, you buy out first, then sell to us. An Audi dealer may also be able to buy it, so compare both numbers. We confirm on your contract.
Paperwork and records.
Who holds your loan
Since May 1, 2025, Wells Fargo has been the preferred lender for new Audi purchase loans, while Audi Financial Services keeps its leases and older loans. Check your statement and send that lender’s account number.
Lease purchase price
Get it from Audi Financial Services before you buy out, and count tax and fees in the total.
Window sticker
It shows the trim, packages and options. Lost it? Photos of the badges, the virtual cockpit and the seats help us match the VIN.
Charging cable
On an e-tron, the mobile charging cable if it came with the car. On a Q4 e-tron in the 2026 recall, the dealer’s letter too.
Keep Audi Care or dealer service records and any recall work, including the dealer’s letters. On an e-tron, Q8 e-tron or Q4 e-tron, look up battery recalls for your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
