The rate at which a vehicle depreciates has a significant influence on the overall cost consumers will pay. A fast depreciating car can lose as much as 60% of its value over a five year period and actually cost you more than a car that's priced more upfront, but has a strong resale value. The importance of resale value applies to Fairfield, CT residents who plan to buy or lease a car, and should be taken into consideration before pulling out the check book. To help consumers determine which vehicles retain their original value the longest, Kelley Blue Book (KBB) conducted their annual "Best Resale Value Awards".
Winners for the annual awards are those that KBB predicts will resell for the greatest percentage of their original purchase price after five years, which is the length of the average lease or ownership. KBB recognizes two brands that offer models with the best resale value and ten models that have strong resale values. Additionally, the awards name one model in 18 categories to help Fairfield consumers who are shopping by car category.
Audi's 2011 A5 took one of the exclusive ten spots for models with the best overall resale value at this year's "Best Resale Value Awards". The full-size coupe was assigned a best resale specification based on its flawless design, high-end performance and solid engineering. Audi also occupied one of the category slots with the A5 in the "Luxury Vehicle" segment which marked the second consecutive year that the car has won this award. If considering an Audi, CT residents can't go wrong with the A5's superior styling and its first-class performance.
The A5 comes standard at your Wilton 2010 Audi dealer with a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that is good for 211 horsepower. The A5 comes standard with front-wheel-drive and is available with an all-wheel-drive system that features confident handling with sturdy traction and responsive body control. An A5 equipped with all-wheel-drive connected to a six-speed manual transmission is capable of going from 0 mph to 60 mph in 6.6 seconds which is surprisingly powerful considering the coupe's impressive fuel efficiency. EPA estimates that the A5 is capable of achieving 21 mpg for city driving and 29 mpg on the highway.
The A5's seductive, eye-catching yet modest design is also a factor that contributes to the car's strong projected resale value. With an aggressive front, rear LED tail lights, fluid lines and five-spoke alloy wheels, few can argue against the A5's stunning exterior. The lavish and comfortable interior of the A5 and slew of high-tech gadgets are additional features that have made this car a favorite at your Wilton 2010 Audi dealership. Visit your Audi CT dealer for more information or to test drive the A5.
