In my opinion, AUDIs are grossly overpriced.
Yes. I owned one through the 1980’s, nothing appears to have changed. Expensive to buy and then repair. I used to joke you needed to take out a mortgage to fix it. Never again. Although I did find a minor way around the labor cost; I knew most of the parts were interchangeable with VW given they were stamped with both symbols. So I took it to the VW dealership and they quietly agreed to do the repairs for their hourly charge vs. the marked up Audi dealership. The 80’s, what a great decade.

A lot of their high price has German socialism baked into it.
High taxes, VAT tax, energy costs, cradle to grave worker benefits, export and shipping fees, and now tariffs all raise the purchase price. It also raises the cost of replacement parts since there is very little capitalism encouraged OEM or aftermarket parts available.

“In my opinion, AUDIs are grossly overpriced.”
Just look at the used prices. For years was one of those jokes the “lost half the value driving off the dealer lot”
If they are gimicked up with all that electronic crap like a BMW, should be about the same now.
