Audi cars are stylish and attractive — yet this specific model could turn into a financial drain. “Vehicles generally aren’t considered investments, but this one is exceptionally foolish as it can lose up to half its worth within four to five years,” noted Pyle. He highlighted that routine upkeep is already costly, let alone adding in exorbitant financing, insurance, and repair expenses.
