Why are used Audi e-tron so cheap?

That is spectacular value. Coming to the (sad) end of my SS agreement on my 50 Technik and I can’t find anything close value wise to replace it with. Now tempted to see what the buy option looks like now.

I bought our Q4 50 S Line with comfort, Sonos and some other bits, 18k miles and 18 months old for about £33k. That is a car in warranty for about half price of a new one. Loving it so far, reservations about long-term battery life aside.

That is crazy value. Are they really old tech, or otherwise utter st, or what? Christ, 3 year old A3s go for 20 grand at some dealers. And not just at Audi either. Even places like Big Motoring World have got 70 reg etrons with 30k miles for 20k.

Honestly, I have absolutely no idea. I think it's a combination of a relatively poor range (150-180 miles) and the general scare-mongering around EV's.

I've had mine 7 months now and it's absolutely brilliant. It's like a slightly bigger Q5, with 300bhp, air suspension and does the equivalent of 200mpg. I like it that much I'm going to pick up another one when the PCP term is up in 10 months.

Electric Audis seem to drop like a stone, even if they have longer range.

7 month old Audi E-tron GT Vorsprung with under 4k miles is up for £64k, when it was £106k brand new.

These sit in a space in the market where it makes more sense to buy/lease new than nearly new. Demand is low so prices are low.

Absolutely, the useless government and the expert advisors have had years to correct the issue with newish but used EV’s having no logical demand but have done nothing. The stupid manufacturers should have been shouting from the rooftops and the zombie dealers are just as bad. The ststorm of losses on these cars is the fault of all the aforementioned.

The reason they drop like a stone is because these ICE companies are overpricing their vehicles massively, and then on the other hand you have pure breed players like Tesla/BYD reducing prices and committing to further cuts.

Why? Because they're living on the 1 year tax allowances giving businesses to buy at stupidly high costs, then they fall into a middle ground where a 1 year old car costs any business owner MORE than buying a new vehicle. Doesn't make any sense. It's the car equivalent of help to buy which also wrecked the housing market.
