Why is the used Audi A8 not valuable?

[LeGenevieve]

High maintenance costs. Below are the specific details: Maintenance costs: In the used car market, the Audi A8's residual value rates for the first five years are 69.73%, 54.90%, 46.78%, 40.18%, and 34.40% respectively. According to statistics from the China Automobile Dealers Association, the average residual value rate for used cars in China is 70% in the first year and 60% in the third year. Due to high maintenance costs, the Audi A8 only exceeds the average standard in the first year, making it a car with extremely poor value retention. Residual value rate: As a fully imported car, when the market is small, the cost of maintenance and repairs increases further, as it can only be serviced at high costs in 4S stores. This is why most people cannot afford a used Audi A8. Market availability and maintenance costs directly affect the residual value rate of this model.
