"Expensive to maintain not worth it"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Driver side window stopped working at about 95,000 miles, cost $400 at Audi dealership, got it done for $300.

Front right CV axle replaced @ 100,000 miles along with inner and outer tire rods. $600 Total.

Time belt and tensioner replaced @ 100,000 miles. $650 Total.

Master and slave piston (without that once you sink the clutch it stays on the floor, making it impossible to drive as the clutch doesn't come back up) $650 Total.

Key-less entry and central door locks stop working @ 110,000 miles. When the central locks, and key-less entry stopped working I realized the gas tank wouldn't open. So I had to pry the latch open, and rig it to stay open. $600 Total.

Turbo went @ 100,000 miles Cost $1800 to replace and have to replace the heat shield another $500.

General comments?

The car was quick when I first got it.

Great looking car.

Very comfortable cabin.

So, to sum it all up...

You are unhappy with all the repairs one might expect as a car ages?
