What is the best way to maintain the value of a Volkswagen Passat?

I just bought a used Volkswagen Passat and I want to make sure I maintain its value. What are some tips and tricks for keeping it in good condition?

Regular maintenance and service is key. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's recommended service schedule and keep all records.

Invest in a good quality car cover to protect against harsh weather and keep the exterior looking new.

Avoid frequent short trips to allow the engine to fully warm up, as this can cause premature wear and tear.

Keep an eye on your tires and make sure they are properly inflated to improve fuel efficiency and prolong tire life.
