Thinking of buying a Volkswagen Polo and wanted some honest opinions before I go ahead.
From what I’ve read, service parts should be available until around 2031 because of regulatory requirements. Just want to know if that actually holds true in real life.
A few things I’m trying to understand:
What’s a fair price in the used market right now?
Are there any strong reasons not to buy one or things I should watch out for?
It’s a naturally aspirated 75 bhp engine, pretty simple overall. How does that hold up over the next four to five years in terms of reliability, maintenance, and everyday driving?
For someone planning to keep the car for around five years, what are the real pros and cons?
Also, how risky is it to buy a car that has had flood damage?
Even if it looks fine, what kind of issues tend to show up later?
Would really appreciate inputs from owners or anyone with hands on experience.
