what it costs new, what it’s worth used, and who has one near you.
The 1999 Audi A6 is a vehicle we track across the used market in Canada. It's rated at about 607 km of electric range, so the real questions are price, charging and how it holds value. A 31-year-old one keeps roughly 11% of a current model's market price — what actually matters over five years of ownership.
