Why are used Audi e-tron so cheap?

Market forces.
Some would choose a new EV for the same price as a not so great used Audi.
That’s why the Audi is cheap.
Well not cheap, priced about right.
It's the same market forces affecting all used EV's, values have collapsed in the last 12 months due to supply and demand. A new MG4 will likely lose £10-12k to depreciation in its first year. A 2 year old eTron, maybe half that?Market forces.

If you enjoy burning money, there's few better ways than buying a new EV at the moment.

I’m on the verge of buying a used Q4 40. They look nice and have a decent range. Need to test drive one mind you. I can’t help worrying about having the car for 8 years (maybe 50k miles) and the battery being trashed and its value being zero.
8 year, 100k mile warranty on the battery in the Q4. If you're only planning on covering 6k miles a year and charging mostly at home then you really shouldn't have anything to worry about. Batteries can also have modules repaired/replace so unlikely to be worth nothing even if you do have a problem.Had a drive in one this bank hol. We liked it. I couldn’t get over how quiet it is..
Have quite a few in my budget range but mileage between 15 and 20k. I bought my M3 for more money, longer ago, with 18k on the clock but for some reason I’m dithering over 20k on the Q4. I should just be thinking the same as an ICE, correct?
Was also encouraged by the battery health thread.

Had mine 6 months now and absolutely love it.
Costing me pennies to run, its quick enough, has loads of space inside, glides down the road and even handles pretty well too. A few software niggles that have come and gone but the "EV" part has been faultless. Currently getting 180-190 miles to a charge which is fine for me.
As a commuting/daily car it's pretty much perfect. For less than £20k it's a hell of a lot of car.
Audi as a brand on the other hand (Main dealer and Audi UK), are the complete opposite!

Just bought an approved used June 2019 55 e-tron as thought it represented very good value for money at £22.5k
Moving from a 2.0TSI Kodiaq that was doing loads of nursery runs (45miles a day), so over a couple of years factoring in running costs / depreciation etc the man maths says it should work out cheaper. Trading some inconvenience on the odd long journey for day to day wafting and a fair bit more poke!

I’ve put a deposit on a Q4 50. 18 months old, Sonos and a few other gadgets and about half the price it was new! I went outside the dealer network which I thought was ok given it is still under warranty (servicing etc checked). The kids quite excited, especially as it has chargers in the back and they get their own air con controls.
Picked it up today near Birmingham and drove it back to Edinburgh. Charged at Tebay … what a revelation that services is. The chargers seemed a bit temperamental as mine stopped randomly.
Nice car. So much to learn about the config though. First time with Car Play. Loved that, now ever so tempted to get that installed in my M3.
Ohme not covering themselves in glory with 3 week install quote; two month reality and double costs with installation extras.

Hope you enjoy it! I still absolutely love mine. Nice car. So much to learn about the config though. First time with Car Play. Loved that, now ever so tempted to get that installed in my M3.

Ohme were a pain in the arse for me, took 3 months to get the charger fitted.
Yeah I'd agree re Ohme, their installers don't seem the most clued up and taking an age. A guy came around for an additional survey and it was just taking the same photos I'd already sent, and muttering about unnecessary (in my opinion) groundworks. Tempted to see if I can get the cash equivalent and just sort myself.
