The median 2016 Audi S3 sits at $21,991 in the Canadian market right now. That's your anchor. If a car is priced well above it, you want a reason, and if it's well below, you want to know why.
What jumps out here is how tight the pricing is. The typical range runs from $21,500 to $21,997, a spread of under $500. Most sellers are landing in nearly the same spot, so there isn't much of a discount tier to hunt through. A number outside that band is the exception, not the norm.
What to actually pay
Given how narrow the range is, roughly $21,500 is a solid target. Anything at or below that median of $21,991 is fair. Push much past $22,000 and you're paying above what the rest of the market is asking for the same year.
These cars are showing around 110,438 km at the median. So a listing near that mileage is normal for the year, and the median price already reflects it. If you find one meaningfully lower on the odometer at the same price, that's the kind of edge worth chasing.
