Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2016 Audi A4 worth?
A 2016 Audi A4 has a median retail value of $9,748, with most appraised between $7,396 and $11,217. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $1,700 across 43 recent sales — the middle 50% between $875 and $2,650.
Why is the 2016 Audi A4 so cheap at auction?

For the 2016 Audi A4 that gap runs about 5.7× — $9,748 retail against a $1,700 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
