2018 Audi S5 Sportback 3.0T quattro Premium Plus — Silver over Red Leather
Four doors, a hatchback tailgate, 354 turbocharged horsepower and quattro all-wheel drive underneath all of it. The S5 Sportback answered a question most buyers never thought to ask: what if the fast one was also the practical one? Then there's the spec. Silver over a full red leather interior is a combination you can scroll past a hundred S5 listings without finding — the overwhelming majority left the factory with black inside. If you've been holding out for a color combination instead of settling for whatever showed up first, this is that car.
✅ WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY GETTING
✓ 90-point Carma inspection completed before this vehicle was listed
✓ OBDII diagnostic scan performed: all drive monitors completed, with no pending or stored trouble codes
✓ Passed Georgia emissions inspection 07/23/2026 at 59,381 miles — already cleared for registration in this state
✓ Two keys included — a small thing until you price a replacement Audi key
✓ 21 service records and 52 total records on the CARFAX, running from the original 2017 delivery through this year
✓ Personal vehicle for its entire life per CARFAX — never reported as a rental, fleet, or commercial unit
✓ Clean title, guaranteed by CARFAX across every owner — no salvage, junk, rebuilt, fire, flood, hail, or lemon branding, and no odometer discrepancies
✓ Documented service within the last 12 months: three oil-and-filter changes (09/2025, 11/2025, 02/2026) plus maintenance inspections at Audi Chantilly and Audi Porsche Silver Spring, including a drivability and performance check. Straight answer on the dollars: all of that recent work is routine consumable maintenance performed by other shops, not our own service team, and no durable wear items — tires, brakes, timing components — are documented in that window. So we are not assigning a dollar value to it or adding it to the value total below. It tells you the car was looked after. It doesn't tell you a new owner is inheriting fresh wear parts, and we'd rather say that out loud than inflate a number.
💰 REAL VALUE — THE FULL PICTURE
We cross-checked this car against five independent sources rather than picking whichever number looked best:
✓ CARFAX History-Based Value: $24,980 (this figure already accounts for the reported accident history below)
✓ J.D. Power Retail Book: $25,600
✓ Manheim Adjusted Retail Average: $26,100
✓ Kelley Blue Book typical listing price: $27,500
✓ Broader market average for the model: ~$28,300
Live comparable 2018 S5 Sportback Premium Plus examples are currently asking roughly $24,000 to $28,500 depending on mileage and history. Those are asking prices, not sold prices — what a seller hopes for, not what a buyer paid — so we weight them lightly.
Taking the sources together, a fair cross-checked market value on this car lands at roughly $25,000 to $27,500. On top of that market value, this vehicle carries:
✓ 5-Year Maintenance Plan — $2,500 value
✓ Quality Plus Auto Protection Plan coverage — $300 retail value
That puts roughly $27,800 to $30,300 in total value in this vehicle.
Buying a car is one of the larger financial decisions most people make, and almost everyone compares sticker prices alone. It's worth weighing what's actually included against that number. Price is only what you pay, but value is what you get.
Market pricing moves, and these figures reflect the market as of this listing. We're always happy to pull a current market pricing report for you on request — our goal is that you never overpay and that you walk away with as much value as possible.

📜 VEHICLE HISTORY (FULL TRANSPARENCY)
We'd rather you read this from us than find it later, so here is the complete record.
Reported damage, 01/27/2020: CARFAX shows a minor damage report at this date. Minor is CARFAX's lowest severity tier — generally cosmetic, the dent-and-scratch category.
Reported accident, 09/03/2020, at approximately 18,252 miles: CARFAX reports an accident with another motor vehicle rated moderate to severe, with damage noted to the front, left front, right front, rear, and right side. This is the most significant item on the car's record and we're not going to soften it. Here is the rest of that picture, from the same report:
✓ No structural damage reported to CARFAX by any owner
✓ No airbag deployment reported
✓ No total loss reported, and the title has stayed clean and CARFAX-guaranteed through all four owners since
✓ The car was repaired and has been driven roughly 41,000 miles in the six years since, with continued Audi-dealer service throughout and no new damage or accident entries reported
✓ The CARFAX History-Based Value of $24,980 above already prices this history in — it is reflected in the value range we quoted, not hidden from it
CARFAX's own guidance is that a moderate-severity event may affect multiple components and can affect operation or safety, and they recommend inspection by a collision repair specialist. We agree with that recommendation, which is why the pre-purchase inspection offer below is on the table for this car.
Ownership: Four previous owners, every one of them a personal owner. The first kept it more than four years and averaged roughly 6,241 miles per year. The car spent time in New York, Maryland, Ohio, and Virginia before arriving here.
Factory warranty status: Audi's original 4-year / 50,000-mile basic and drivetrain coverage and the 4-year roadside coverage have all expired on this vehicle. CARFAX estimates corrosion coverage remains, at roughly 39 months with unlimited mileage — that's an estimate from CARFAX, not a promise from us or from Audi, and any remaining factory coverage is worth confirming with an Audi dealer.
Realistic wear: This is a 59,000-mile, eight-year-old, 354-horsepower all-wheel-drive performance car. Expect the tires, brakes, and 60,000-mile service interval items to be normal ownership costs on your horizon, and expect German performance-car maintenance to cost more than a commuter sedan's. There is no documented durable-wear-part replacement in the last 12 months, and we told you that above rather than letting you assume otherwise. A used car of this age will also carry ordinary cosmetic wear consistent with its mileage.
📋 BUYER'S GUIDE & REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS
Every dealer in the country is required to post a federal Buyers Guide on each used vehicle, and every buyer signs one — but almost nobody actually reads it. It's worth two minutes of yours. It lists, in plain language, the systems that commonly develop problems on used vehicles: engine, transmission, differential, cooling system, electrical system, fuel system, brakes, steering, suspension, and more. That list exists because used vehicles are used, and every one of them has a history that predates you. We'd rather set that expectation honestly at the start than let it become a surprise later. The separate As-Is acknowledgment is a narrower document about a specific vehicle's sale terms — ask your consultant to walk you through both.
🔍 PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION
We're happy to accommodate a pre-purchase inspection at a Carma-verified shop, on-site or within a 10-mile radius, prior to finalizing your purchase and once terms are agreed upon. Ask your sales consultant for details.
