Well over here Audi is more like a Ford mini van, and I had one so I know.The RS3 isn’t your average run of the mill Audi. Certainly a base A5, Q7, or A8 is going to depreciate a lot. However, the RS models are ALWAYS in demand.

You are WAY over generalizing this. Yes, there are mundane Audi vehicles. This just isn’t one of those vehicles.Well over here Audi is more like a Ford mini van, and I had one so I know.

Yes it absolutely does. But not at 125k. But when Tesla translates the interior over to the M3, I will be back. Yeah, yeah, the green is an easy target. My wife, among others, is pissed. That said, I have gotten several complements on the color over the course of just a few days. I did get some on the Tesla from time to time as well.Model S Refresh solves most of your problems.
More consistent speed as SOC goes down and 60-90 mph kicks as hard as 20-50 mph does.
Nicer ride. I got rid of my M3P partly due to ride and cabin noise as well.
Nicer interior.
405 miles range.
Looks nicer than M3P or RS3.
Best of all they don’t offer that horrible fire truck green. No wonder it was available
RS Audi vehicles have held their value EXTREMELY well even taking out this over inflated market. There is absolutely no statistic pointing to the M3 holding it's value better than the RS3.Unfortunately OP's RS3 will depreciate a lot more and faster than M3.
I've been watching the used prices on the Model 3 LR and Performance. They are coming down and there are many more available than before. They will remain in demand for sure but the high times are probably nearing an end. I don't think it's a tesla thing. I think it's an industry thing. Loan rates are up to 6 percent.Meanwhile the Vroom offer for my 2022 Model 3 Performance dropped $12,000 last week alone. Still worth way more than I owe on it with zero down which isn’t bad.
Yeah, I'm not too worried about resale on the RS3. I think it will do just fine.RS Audi vehicles have held their value EXTREMELY well even taking out this over inflated market. There is absolutely no statistic pointing to the M3 holding it's value better than the RS3.
It will, and it always has. It's rare, they don't make many, and true car enthusiasts love them.Yeah, I'm not too worried about resale on the RS3. I think it will do just fine.
Of course Tesla really ought to offer a better suspension on the M3P from the factory.
Last I looked S LR is $105K. M3 will need a lot more than interior. Suspension is, probably the most serious issue. I also love the hatch on the S and I added the Model X hitch. So it’s my super sporty SUV with 405 miles range and still does 0-60 in 3.1. And has the space of a Model Y.Yes it absolutely does. But not at 125k.

Not sure what this tells us. RS3s were never 75k plus in 2018 so anything over 60ish should be an outlier. Looks like they dropped from 60k MSRP to 50 over 3 years. That's pretty solid btw and way better than average.

Agree everything is a trade off. Biggest trade off is the high price.
See my last screenshot. from $63k to $50k in two years is about 20% depreciation which aligns with other non RS audi/bmw/MB cars. and anything beyond early 2020 is outlier and abnormal, so disregard the trend after the beginning of 2020 and later.Not sure what this tells us.

@MaskedRacerX With Tesla these days you really can't be in your bold color phase (unless red counts)Love the RS3, there was a thread where a guy was speculating over the same scenario (sell TM3 / buy ICE), my recommendation
Anyone purchase an ICE after your Model 3?
Hi everyone. 2021 AWD Model 3. I understand that if you're active on this forum, chances are good you love your Model 3, kept it, swear by it, etc. I've owned mine for over 1 year and after my 5th Tesla service appointment (for a whirring, buzzing gear grinding kinda noise taking place under my...teslamotorsclub.com
I dig on the green (though I'd prefer a black caliper with that exterior), I had a yellow Z06 and an orange GT convertible, fun cars, great colors. I sort of tick-tock with a gray-scale color, then back to something with a big bold color, I'm currently in a gray phase
