The median 2012 Audi A5 in the Canadian market sits at $11,825. Most cars land between $7,875 and $13,000, so that band is your reality check. Anything asking well above $13,000 needs a real reason, and anything under $7,875 deserves a hard look before you get excited.
Median mileage for these is 154,303 km. That's a fair amount of road, and it's the number to anchor against when you read an odometer. A car sitting near that mark is priced as an average example. One that's meaningfully lower has a case for the top of the range.
What mileage does to the price
Every extra 10,000 km knocks about $807 off the asking price. Do the math on any car you're looking at. A 2012 A5 with 190,000 km should sit roughly $2,900 under one at 154,000 km, all else equal. If a higher-mileage car isn't discounted to match, you've got room to push back, and if a low-mileage one is priced like an average example, that's the deal worth chasing.
We've flagged 5 of these as deals over the last 90 days. Not a flood, but enough that patient buyers get shots. Watch for the low-kilometre cars that slip in near the $11,825 median instead of above it.
