The badge spans almost the whole market, so the model matters far more than the brand. Take 2016 cars: a Q7 went for AED 54,000, a Q5 for AED 26,000 and an A3 for AED 16,000. A 2023 A3 sold at AED 68,000. Asking prices across our current UAE listings run from AED 8,500 for an early-2010s car up to AED 360,000 for a current-year one, across 75 Audis.
Average for a German premium make rather than a strong point: taken across the model curves we can measure, Audis average about 43% of their value after five years in the UAE. The upside is on the buying side, which is why a three-year-old Q7 costs what a new mainstream SUV does.
The cabins wear better than the class and the tyres are where owners cut corners. Across more than 2,000 Audis we have inspected in the UAE, 20% came in with mismatched or damaged tyres, against the 14% we would expect for cars of the same age and mileage in the Emirates — cheap to put right and easy to negotiate over. Interiors run the other way: 29% showed staining against the 35% expected for comparable cars here, so the trim survives the heat well.
