But I need to point out that my car was at 197,000 miles at that point.
Now I should be good to go and will only need to replace minor worn suspension components.
Happy Boxstering,

12 months

2 oil changes = $160
1 GAHH Top installed, with new pushrods (book caused some damage being left on the shelf) = $3750
New MAF = $400 installed
New Spark Plugs and coils = $76
New Starter, brake booster, brake fluid flush, water pump, tow = $1100

Total cost for 1 year? $5486

Without onetime Top expense? $1736, about $500 more than a typical year of Audi ownership.

My new tires that cost $1000 with tax, just missed the cutoff.
