Hey y'all, thanks for reading.

I own a 2006 Audi S4 WITH 74XXX miles. I bought the car for 21k about 20 months ago. Since then I've spent around 11k on maintenance. Long story short, small issues are expensive, and the car has been high maintenance for me. Only major engine failures were the fuel pump.

Next question. With the money I spent to buy the vehicle and maintain it, I'm at a breaking point. Do I cut my HUGE losses and sell for 13k? Do I trust the reliability of the car up to 100k miles? Can I just not afford to maintain it, or is the worst behind me?

Really need guidance here. Appreciate any suggestions.

 

I'm in a similar boat. I just dropped $6000 in the last 2 months (3 different issues). Possibly going to spend another $2000 soon.

74k is the prime time to sell, so there's still hope. If you keep it, odds are you'll be right back at spending obscene amounts of cash soon

You gotta ask yourself the question: Is she worth it? If she's not the love of your life, then it's time to move on. Why waste your life on a dead end?

Yes, my relationship with my car is better than my relationship with people.

 

I think this is an important point to consider, when spending money on vehicles. Where do you see this "relationship" going in the future?

Do you enjoy driving the S4, or is it an S$?

Good luck with your decision.

 

Honestly, it's all up to you and how much enjoyment you get out of the car, but if it were me I'd sell it. I might be a bit salty because I just found out that my #8 piston has a hole in it...
