Worth it?

hey everyone, I come here to ask if you (unbiasedly) feel that your A5 is worth it, and am inquiring about the one I am currently looking at. previously an Audi owner of 4.5 years to my first car and beloved a4 b7 model that just got deemed totaled all because I decided to park in front of my house on the street. I was planning on keeping it for as long as possible. Anyway, I am well aware of high maintenance costs but would rather not veer outside the Audi family as of now. I’m currently looking at a 2017 a5 sport coupe, very well priced, and about 50k miles. one previous owner and seems like maintenance has been well kept. wondering what I can expect to upkeep, replace, or any issues (or positives!) you have with this model.

thank you in advance

Hit while parked

My A4 (91k miles, perfect service history) was just hit by a neighbor from parking on the street and insurance is likely totaling it. absolutely devastated, I am in love with this car and the interior and mechanicals are still perfect. kept her in such good condition.

Has anyone here gone through the process of buying back a totaled B7 to swap parts or rebuild? I’m torn between trying to save it or just taking the payout and hunting for a twin. Any advice on dealing with adjusters regarding the “collector“ value of a low-mileage B7 would be appreciated.
