Audi tends to attract the buyer who is looking for a car that feels premium and caters to their needs in everyday practice. Our listing of used Audi cars for sale moves across a wide price band around $25,990 to $54,290, with smaller options like the A1 and A3 at one end and roomier SUVs like the Q3, Q5 and Q7 at the other. 2nd-hand Audi sales on our platform shows that buyers leaned most toward the Q3, Q5 and A3. It further helped us understand how Audi works in the Australian used car market. Our platform is designed to add more certainty to your decision with inspected cars, Car History Records and a 30-Day Return Guarantee*.
The price of a used Audi depends on multiple factors that you should consider before buying. A smaller A1 or A3 usually gives buyers the easiest way into Audi ownership, a Q3 costs more and a Q5 generally sits higher because of cabin space and a larger boot.
Our listed used Audi cars for sale sit within $25,990 to $54,290. The four key factors that move the price are model year, variant trim, drivetrain and kilometres on the clock. With a used Audi, service history should be treated like a fifth price factor because a well-maintained car can be worth paying more for, while a cheaper one with sketchy records may not stay cheap for long.
Buyers shopping for Audi’s second-hand cars know exactly what they want and the numbers back that up. Here’s what our top-sellers offer:
Model | Body type | Fuel option | Best for |
Compact SUV | Petrol, premium petrol or diesel, depending on listing | Buyers who want a used Audi with SUV height, easier parking than a larger family car and enough cabin comfort for daily city and suburban use | |
Mid-size SUV | Petrol or diesel, depending on year and variant | Families who want a second hand Audi with more boot space, a calmer cabin for longer drives and a size that still works for school runs and weekday traffic | |
Sedan or hatchback | Petrol or premium petrol, depending on listing | City drivers, couples and small families who want an Audi 2nd hand car that feels premium without taking on the size or running costs of a larger SUV | |
Sedan | Petrol or premium petrol, depending on listing | Drivers who prefer a lower seating position, a proper boot and a more composed feel on office commutes, highway drives and longer road use | |
Hatchback | Petrol or premium petrol, depending on listing | Buyers who want a smaller Audi used car for city driving, tighter parking and lower everyday effort, while still getting a more polished cabin than a basic hatch |
A used Audi can tick every box on paper and still be the wrong car for you if it doesn't suit you. It's worth slowing down for a bit to compare.
Start with your Audi shortlist and narrow it down using filters like model, price, kilometres, year, fuel type, transmission and body type. This is the bit that saves you the most time later.
Take a proper look at the details before you decide. A newer Q3 that's been serviced on schedule can actually work out better than a cheaper Q5 that ends up costing you more down the line in running costs.
Go through the car details, inspection notes, odometer reading, ownership history and the car's full history before you book anything. It's worth the ten minutes.
If you want to know what your repayments will actually look like, check the finance options online before you commit to a car.
Once you're happy, book a test drive or go ahead and buy online. Cars24 can help with paperwork, transfer and delivery where that's available, so you're not left figuring it out on your own.

300-point inspection
30-Day Return Guarantee*
Car condition report

The Audi Q3 is usually the Audi people land on when they like the idea of a small SUV, but do not want the car to feel too big. It has that neater, more premium Audi feel and it is not trying to be a large family SUV. For a couple, a small family or someone who mostly drives around the city, it gives enough space for normal use while keeping the size easy to manage.
Perfect fit for: Someone who wants a second hand Audi with SUV practicality, but still needs it to feel easy in city traffic, tight parking and regular weekday use.
A used Audi Q5 works well for Australian families because it doesn't ask you to trade practicality for how it drives. You get proper boot space for a pram or a footy bag, back seats that fit two car seats without a squeeze and it still handles like an Audi rather than sitting soft and top-heavy the way some mid-size SUVs do once you load them up.
Our data shows that the Q5 was the second strongest Audi model. Petrol Q5s suit buyers who are mostly doing city and suburban driving, while diesel versions are worth considering if you're regularly covering longer distances, given the better fuel economy on the highway.
Perfect fit for: Families who want proper SUV space in a used Audi, without taking on the size or running costs that come with a Q7.
Audi second-hand cars can be a strong buy, but it is not the kind of car you should choose only because the price looks tempting.
Service history
Check that the logbook or service records are clear. Gaps in servicing matter more with Audi because repairs can cost more later.
Tyres and brakes
Look at tyre wear, brake condition and whether cheap parts have been used. These can tell you how carefully the car has been owned.
Gearbox feel
During a test drive, the car should move off smoothly and change gears without jerks, delays or roughness in traffic.
Electronics and cabin features
Check the screen, camera, sensors, air conditioning, windows and dashboard warnings. Small faults can be annoying and expensive on a second hand Audi.
Kilometres versus condition
Low kilometres are good, but they should match the car’s overall condition. The seats, paint, tyres, steering feel and service records should all tell the same story.
Cars24 makes this easier by giving buyers inspection details, Car History Check, PPSR and a 30-Day Return Guarantee* so you are not judging a 2nd hand Audi from a quick look around the car and a short test drive.
A used Audi A3 is a strong choice if you don’t want SUV running costs. It is smaller, easier to park and usually simpler to live with than a Q5 or Q7, which makes it a better fit for drivers who mainly do city, office and weekend driving. The A3 works best when it has been serviced properly and still feels tight on the road. Sedan versions can suit buyers who want a more grown-up shape and a separate boot, while Sportback-style versions feel more flexible for day-to-day use.
Perfect fit for: Singles, couples, city drivers, first premium-car buyers and small families who do not need a larger SUV.
If you are comparing Audi second-hand cars, it helps to look at rival models by body type.
Audi model you are considering | Body type | Similar model from another make | Suited for |
Compact SUV | BMW X1, Mercedes-Benz GLA, Volvo XC40 | Buyers who want a smaller premium SUV for city and suburban use | |
Mid-size SUV | BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Lexus NX, Volvo XC60 | Families who want comfort, cabin quality and road presence without going full-size | |
Sedan or hatchback | BMW 1 Series, Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Volkswagen Golf | Drivers who want a premium small car that is easier to park and run | |
Sedan | BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Lexus IS | Drivers who prefer a lower driving position, a proper boot and a composed highway feel |
You can browse used Audi cars for sale on Cars24 and compare the available options online before visiting a hub or booking the next step. It makes the search easier because you can narrow the list by model, price, year, kilometres, fuel type, transmission and body type, instead of trying to compare similar Audi listings across different sellers. Cars24 supports buyers in key Australian cities including Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
Yes, all Cars24 Select cars go through a 300-point inspection before being listed. With a used Audi, that’s worth more than it sounds, because you’re not just checking whether the engine runs and the panels line up. You gauge the state of the tires, brakes, electronics and interior, along with the everyday stuff that’s easy to miss on a quick look.
They can be, yes. But that’s not the same as saying every used Audi will hit your wallet hard. A smaller A1 or A3 with a well-kept service record is usually a pretty manageable car to own. It’s the bigger models, a Q5, a Q7, or anything performance-tuned, where the running costs might start to add up.
Most Audi petrol and diesel models need a service roughly every 12 months or 15,000 km, whichever hits first. Before you buy a second-hand Audi, it’s worth pulling the logbook or service records for that specific car, because a gap in servicing now can turn into a real repair bill down the track.
You want to see regular service entries, proper workshop paperwork and nothing that looks like a long unexplained gap. For Audi second hand cars specifically, it’s also worth checking whether the tyres, brakes, fluids and any transmission work have been done on schedule. A car that looks cheap upfront won’t stay cheap if the maintenance was skipped.
It is and it’s probably one of the easiest used Audis to live with day to day. The Q3 gives you that compact SUV shape without becoming a hassle to park or navigate through traffic. It works well if you want a premium cabin and SUV practicality but don’t actually need the size of a Q5 or Q7.
It’s a solid pick if you want more room than a Q3 without going all the way up to a full-size SUV. The Q5 handles school runs, weekend bags and highway trips comfortably and it still feels easy enough to drive day to day.
Yes, and it’s probably the most common way people get into Audi ownership. It’s smaller than the SUVs, easier to park, and generally cheaper to run than a Q5 or Q7. A well-kept A3 suits city drivers, couples or small families who want that premium daily feel without taking on a bigger car.
Cars24 Select cars go through the full Cars24 inspection process, which includes the 300-point inspection, car history details, a PPSR check, RWC support and a 30-Day Return Guarantee* on eligible cars. Verified dealer listings come through dealer partners instead, so it’s worth checking the listing details, what’s included and the seller’s terms before you decide.
Generally, the smaller models. An A1, A3 or Q2 will usually cost less to run than a Q5, Q7 or performance variant, mostly because they’re lighter and use less expensive tyres and wear parts. That said, the real number always comes down to the engine, the kilometres, the service history and how hard the previous owner drove it.
