How much should I budget for maintenance on my Volkswagen Polo?

I recently bought a used Volkswagen Polo and I'm not sure how much I should budget for maintenance. I want to keep my car in good shape, but I also don't want to overspend. Any advice on how much I should budget for maintenance costs?

In my experience, Volkswagen Polo's tend to be fairly reliable and require minimal maintenance. However, it's always a good idea to budget for unexpected repairs or regular maintenance such as oil changes and tire rotations. I would recommend setting aside around $500-700 a year for maintenance expenses.

I've owned a Volkswagen Polo for the past 5 years and I can tell you that maintenance costs can vary greatly. It's always a good idea to have a rainy day fund for unexpected repairs. I would suggest budgeting at least $1000-1500 for maintenance every year, just to be safe.

As a mechanic who specializes in European car brands, I can say that Volkswagen Polo's are generally reliable but can still have their fair share of maintenance expenses. It's always best to plan for the worst and budget around $1500-2000 a year for maintenance costs.
