2022 Audi RS6Avant

Start with the gap. Comparable 2022 RS6 Avants are trading at a median of $91,350. The asking price represents a 37% premium over that benchmark, which is substantial and difficult to justify. The Manheim Valuation (BCV) sits at $65,000, suggesting the seller's expectations are significantly misaligned with what the market will bear.

The positive: this car is mechanically sound. It has zero recalls, only 29,000 miles, and sits at a point in its depreciation curve where it's young enough to retain some value but old enough that the steepest losses are behind it. Annual maintenance runs $3,500—expensive, but predictable for a twin-turbocharged performance wagon.

The problem isn't the car itself; it's the price. The market is flat (a 0.1 hold score), meaning there's no tailwind to help absorb the premium you'd be paying. You'd be buying at the top of the ask range in a market where sellers have limited leverage.

Your next move: use the comp data and BCV as anchors in negotiation. The $91,350 median isn't a ceiling—it's a floor for what this car should cost. Open at $85,000 and see where the dealer lands. If they won't move meaningfully below $100,000, walk. The market will give you better options.
