I have a Q5 2013 has had no issues! OVER 100,000 MILES and I have not had to replace brakes! However, all that will change very soon... Should I keep or trade in? Honestly, I can't afford at this time to buy another Q5 so I would have to buy another car or 3.
Any comments would be welcomed

If you have not had any issues with your Q5 and you cannot afford a new one, I say keep it and just save up some money for upcoming repairs and regular maintenance costs. But, if you are considering leaving the Audi brand and stepping down to a Hyundai, Kia, Honda, or Toyota then that's a different story. If you feel comfortable considering this route then I say go buy a new one.

I dread leaving Audi as I have loved every moment of driving this Audi! Any estimate on repair costs? Thank you for the reply!

What exactly are you attempting to estimate repair costs for: all 4 brakes- rotors and pads? Tranny fluid change? major engine rebuild?... No one here can predict the future... So try being precise as to what you're asking.

True ! If I could predict the future I could easily buy a new Audi! I am estimating $5000-6000. For what you listed within the next 6 months. Would that seem reasonable. I have not heard of an unexpected issues with the Q5.
Thanks your information is reassuring.

You're being far too vague... Why don't you lookup what Audi recommends you do for maintenance at the 75-100k mark. Then budget extra to change out your differential and tranny fluid and filter. Then you will actually know what you need to spend $$ on.

Will do some homework- thanks for the directions.
