You got a hell of a deal. VC gaskets, Cam seals, tensioners, and plugs on my car was $3400 alone. I was looking at EGT Sensors, $550 for the pair plus labor, probably going to happen later this year... Timing belt job was just a hair over $2k. Thanking the Audi gods that my O2 sensors were still good. Bufkin pipe adds ~4 hours of labor, motor mounts are not cheap (I had one replaced to the tune of ~$400)... the list goes on.
Still wishing I could find an excellent indy in the DC area like the lucky folk in Oregon and apparently Massachusetts. Honestly at this point would be almost worth the long drive up to MA, that's how bad it is here.
