Default CPO Warranty worked in my favor, now I must sell... maybe?

I bought my 2014 S6 two and half years ago with 30k miles on it. It was a lease trade in and came with the Audi CPO warranty.
It's a damn good thing that it did since I've had nothing but trouble with the car.

This is what's happened in two and half years:
  • Thermostat - ($1,500 repair if not for CPO)
  • PCV beather - ($2,000 repair if not for the CPO)
  • Both turbos blown, seized up and led to metal filings in the oil and engine. It just happened this past weekend so they'll have my car for the next 2-3 weeks for the repair ($12-15,000 repair if not for CPO)
  • LCD screen was replaced due to erratic behavior that led to it shutting down sporadically ($1,800 repair if not for CPO)
  • 3 blown tires due to pot holes... Never again will I have 20" rims (this cost was one me)
  • Dealer replaced the front pads and rotors. The car came with new ones at 30k when I bought it but the new ones had a seizing issue. ($2,000 repair if not for CPO)
  • Dealer replaced a front brake caliper. This was their fault. A tech rubbed part of the S6 logo off.
Have you guys had this much trouble?
I know that the big three things that can go wrong have gone wrong. The warranty ends in December and I'm hesitant to keep the car. One one hand, the bad parts have been replaced but what's the chance that any one of them can go again???

Thoughts on keeping it another 2 years out of warranty or trading it in?

Boy, I'd say keep it now. You have almost a brand new car now. I had a CPO S5 and it was worth it. I would never buy another used Audi without it or I'd just buy a new one. Thoughts on keeping it out of any kind of warranty...hmmm. I personally would not, but seems to have many issues fixed. Any chance of getting an extended one before this one ends? If I did that, then I'd keep it.
