I dont get the question. You mean, how many people have gone 100k without spending a dime?
I'd guess zero. Same for Toyotas.
I hve nto had my C5 that long, but I've already done a thermostat (warranty) and a CV boot (not).
My B5 S4 was pretty bulletproof at 80k, but had eaten one control arm bushing and a window regulator. Brakes of course, same as my S6.
My 84 4kq and 91 20v both went big miles - lots of repairs but no major failures - 300k on one and 216 on the other. Both long gone.
I expect the S6 to run 150k - over about 16 years. yes, I'll put money in it, but not THAT much ( unless i go crazy on the suspension).
I have never seen an engine problem or tranny problem of any kind on any of my Audis. No leaks, no failures. Just lots of minor-medium stuff to fix along the way.

95K and still going strong! Scheduled Maintenance is Key! I have certainly....
spent substantial dollars tuning my car vs. maintenance. Usual wear & tear. As a previous Volvo turbo owner, I say German all the way! Drive safely.
