Is my '02 A4q an unusual piece of junk, or just a piece of junk?

Sorry to hear about all the nagging problems.  As stated by another  lister, 
buying well cared for car about 5 years old is the best deal.
 
Every car I have personally bought has been approx. 5 to 6 years old and  had 
between 40k and 50k on the clock.  All have worked out for me.  Of  course, 
it takes a little more looking around to find the car.
 
Then there is the old saying and another thing to look for when buying a  
car.  
 
You don't buy a car built on a Monday, Friday, or the day before or after a  
holiday.  And for European cars, you don't buy a car built near the end of  
July or in the first part of September.  August is vacation month.
