Hi Everyone,
First time posting to the discussions part of this forum 😁
So like the title suggests I'm really on the fence about what to do with my 2009 Audi A3. It's a 1.8TFSI I bought the car from a mate about 2 years ago. In that time I've spent about around R 25 000 on repairs excl. maintenance. Some of the work I've had time in that time:
I've looked after this car and done a ton of preventative maintenance as well. Is this just how it goes with cars out of motor-plan/warranty?
Considering selling her, I've been eyeing something a little more reliable like a new Lexus IS 250/350 or potentially something newer like a Megane RS. Not sure whether I should sell it before something else major goes like the turbo or god knows what else or hang on to it since I'm already pretty invested in it.
Any advice/input would be very much appreciated.

- Rear main seal
- Clutch, flywheel kit
- Timing chain kit
- Lower control arms
- Two CV joints
