Over the next 5 years, I probably have spent $5000 - $8000 on repairs(including an accident).

Yikes.
This was on your VW?
I had an '85 Jetta that I bought with fairly low miles (60 grand or so?).
That thing was a money pit. I still have the (old, pitted) CV joint in my office. It's a reminder NOT to buy an old car.
