2013 S6 Manheim values-DISAPPOINTING

I think you're being unrealistic. The moment you drive off the lot, on a 80,000 car...you take a 10,000 haircut the moment you hit the curb. It's just the way luxury cars are. Many are even much worse than that.
An s6 lease is going to be 1100-1200 a month. So after 2 years, you've paid over ~27 grand in lease payments. A lease is intended just to pay the depereciation on a car.
There's a lot of garbage that goes through the Manheim auctions. So it's hard to say what's right on wrong with those cars.
Really clean problem free s6s with the right color and options do bring good money.

My S6 is a long term keeper so I don't really care. Bottom line is that auction prices are calculated off the base price of the car, which in the case of the S6 is around $74,000. Most people option their S6 well into the 80s or higher but this gets you nothing back in the used market. Quite honestly, from a resale perspective, it would be better if Audi made all of this stuff standard equipment then just raised the base price of the car. The worst in this regard is Porsche. Their base cars are usually so stripped down that most people end up getting like $20-30k in options. You get none of this back in the auction/trade market. You may get it back for just the right buyer in a private sale.
