2016 Audi RS7Performance
Deal Analysis
Standard · 4/6/2026You're looking at a 2016 Audi RS7 Performance with an asking price of $25,000 that fails on multiple critical fronts, making this a straightforward pass regardless of how attractive the headline number might seem.
Start with the structural problem: this car doesn't meet your acquisition criteria. It's a 2016 model, and your cutoff is 2017—it's simply too old for your portfolio standards. That alone is disqualifying.
But there's more. The asking price of $25,000 appears to be a data entry error rather than a genuine listing. The median comparable for this exact vehicle is $70,025, and the car's estimated current market value (BCV) sits at $55,000. Even at that $55,000 valuation, you'd be looking at roughly $3,000 annually in maintenance costs on a high-performance platform that's already nine years old. The math on depreciation is brutal—this car is deep into its curve, and you're not capturing any upside.
The market direction reinforces this: strong sell signals across the board, with a market score of -0.5. The dealer profile is also a red flag—no Google rating, no reviews, no franchise affiliation. You'd be transacting with an unknown entity on a vehicle that's already outside your parameters.
The single most important thing you should do next: move on. This deal fails at the gate level and doesn't warrant further due diligence. Your time is better spent on vehicles that meet your 2017+ model year requirement and come from dealers with verifiable track records.
