Best Audi S4 Year to Buy
There is no single best Audi S4 year: the right one depends on your budget and what you want from the car. Across 139 verified sales, the 2001 is the most affordable at $13,600. The 2014 trades most often (35 verified sales). No sale since Oct 1, 2025, so the 2001's value may not reflect today's market.
