Cost of owning an Audi 4kq

[rplines at pacifier.com]

Don't know why, but I decided to go through all my old car receipts last night....
 nothing better to do I guess.
I decided to share my results as a matter of general information, also to see if
anyone else can share comparison info for other cars.
The following is a summary of what I found:
The car is question is an '86 4000cs quattro.  I bought it for $3600 in May 1995
with 127,000 miles.  It is now November 2000 and has 196,000 miles on the clock...
68,000 miles driven.
1.  Assuming 23mpg average and $1.40 per gallon I spent $4140 on fuel.
2.  I have used two sets of tires for a total of $600.
3.  Assuming $15 for an oil change every 4000 miles, I have spent $255 on oil and
filters. (not synthetic, shame on me)
4.  I have spent $3170 on parts.  This includes everything from the heater core to
spark plugs to the clutch master cylinder and parking brake cables.  I have replaced
nearly every suspension bushing and joint, including new struts.  I think the car
is in better mechanical condition that when I bought it.  Although the paint is not
great, the car has zero rust.  It has only stranded my once during my ownership (fuel
pump).

If you add this all up, you get a total of $11,765 including the cost of the car.
 This equates to 17.3 cents per mile.  If you consider that I could sell the car
today for $2500 (I'm guessing), that's only 13.6 cents per mile.  Not bad, IMO. 
Certainly less than I expected.  Keep in mind that I do all of the work and consider
my labor to be free.  Labor would probably add another $3-4000 to the total.  I'm
also not counting insurance and speeding tickets!
All in all, this is nowhere near the 32 cents a mile average for the U.S.  Who says
German cars are expensive?

Has anyone done any figuring on newer Audis?  Or other makes for that matter?
