What Owners are Saying About the 2001 Audi A8

"Luxury Ride"

"Interior quality of materials and fit/finish is outstanding. Car is 18 years old and absolutely no rust anywhere from challenging New England weather. 4.2 liter engine is strong and quiet. Seating and trunk room is very spacious, this is a great road car."

"Great Value When Purchased as a Used Vehicle"

"Drives exceptionally well, quatro is very welcome during snowy weather, very comfortable for passengers, lots of trunk space, interior quality is unsurpassed. This is my second A8."

"A lot of car for a great price"

"This is probably one of the top cars you can buy for Luxury, Comfort, Styling and Safety. It meets all my needs. You can buy these amazing cars used for such a discount from new, problem is that they will continue to depreciate after as well so you will lose some money, but you wont mind too much when you drive it and appreciate the level of quality and refinement. Of all the features, my favorite is the heated steering wheel. In New England, on cold days it makes a huge difference. I make 10hour drives to Canada and always arrive fresh and without any pain, super smooth and very comfortable seats. I would highly recommend an extended warranty from AAA as repairs are expensive and I have had to make 2 so far. I have driven many cars from Mercedes to Jags from the 2001 and before years and none ever came close to this car. I LOVE it."

2001 Audi A8 Depreciation

Annual Depreciation is an estimation of what your vehicle's value might be over time based on an average of similar vehicles. Estimations are calculated by comparing Kelley Blue Book Private Party Values of vehicles similar to yours over time, as well as forecasts from Manheim Auction data comparing current and projected auction values against current Kelley Blue Book Private Party and Trade-In Values. This is not a guarantee of actual depreciation. Local weather conditions, market factors and driver performance will also impact your vehicle's actual depreciation.
