I would never own a volkswagen out of warranty. Esp a 3yr old one with average mileage selling for only ~5k less than msrp like the one you posted.

they are fine on maintenance if you take care of them, they do however use 5w40 synthetic oil so changes cost a little more.

So in other words, it will cost a little more then a car that doesn't require synthetic.

My wife has nothing but problems with hers ever since the **** warranty went out. Her maintenance light keeps coming on randomly, randomly she will be out in town and it wont start but as soon as you touch the battery with jumper cables there is a pop and it will start without needing the jump, and less than mediocre gas mieage for it being only a 5 cylinder. A lot of road noise also. Once we get positive equity on it we will be trading it in for sure.

If you are thinking of a mid size sedan or a car of similiar size I recommend Toyota Camrys. I have the SE model an 09 and love it. It looks good with the SE bodykit and the interiors are nice and roomy. I got mine last year in March and paid 16k. Good gas mileage, easy to work on, haven't had any issues at all
