What moves the price on this model
Condition, history, originality, ownership, delivery and modification multipliers apply to every car in the library. They are applied automatically when an advertisement is analysed, and the schedule is set out once, on the analyser page.
Projected value in five years
The case for and against
Five Australian figures inside thirteen months show low-kilometre cars firming, with a 12,802km example at $107,500, about 52 per cent below its $225,000 list after eleven years. A 412kW twin-turbo V8 wagon that will carry a family has no real substitute at $85,000.
A pair of hot-V turbochargers is $20,000, a timing chain tensioner job is $11,500 with the engine out and the air suspension is $3,500 a corner, and stacked together that liability can exceed what a high-kilometre car is worth. The same generation spans about 1.9 times on odometer alone, so one wrong comparable moves the answer by tens of thousands.
Known faults and risks
Similar cars, and what they cost to run
Five Australian auction figures sit inside thirteen months: $107,500 on a 12,802km car, $88,888 at 68,411km, $80,000 at 70,264km, $63,000 at 91,488km and $56,500 at 136,978km. All five are carried, and five results inside thirteen months makes this the best-measured German car in the expansion. Read as a set they say something no single figure can: this model is priced almost entirely on the odometer, at a spread of about 1.9 times inside one generation.

The field carried kmPct 1.8, the library's own median, on a record whose whole argument is that distance prices the car. Fitted across the five sales, each indexed to 2026 so a falling market is not read as distance, the slope is 5.5 per cent per 10,000 kilometres with an r-squared of 0.87: $107,500 at 12,802km, $88,888 at 68,411km, $80,000 at 70,264km, $63,000 at 91,488km, $56,500 at 136,978km.
Which is the fit shrunk toward the library median at five observations rather than the raw slope, on the rule the 981 Cayman set.
It is quoted at the 55,000 kilometres this record expects and the fit returns $90,500 there, so the carried figure is already the conservative end of the set.
Low-kilometre cars have bottomed and are firming, and the 12,802km car sold about 52 per cent below its $225,000 list after eleven years, which for a German performance wagon is remarkable. High-kilometre cars are still falling, because the repair overhang is real. A pair of hot-V turbochargers is $20,000, a timing chain tensioner job is $11,500 with the engine out, and the air suspension is $3,500 a corner. Stack those against a car that sold at $56,500 and the liability can exceed the asset.
A live retail 2015 car at 192,201km asking $55,000 is optimistic beside a car with about 55,000 fewer kilometres that sold at $56,500. Audi Australia does not break out RS6 volumes, so the delivery figure here is a low-confidence estimate.
