How much does it cost to maintain a Volkswagen?

I’ve been saving up for ages and finally have enough to get my dream car—a Volkswagen Beetle! I’ve always loved them. But, I wonder if it’ll be too expensive to keep up with. What does it cost to maintain a Volkswagen?

On average, you’ll probably spend around $676 yearly to
maintain
your Volkswagen. This is just a couple of bucks over the industry average.
Over the first decade of your car’s life, you’re looking at $7,800 in maintenance. It’s a little less than other comparable makers like Ford, Kia, Chevrolet, and Jeep; but more than Mazda, Nissan, and Honda. Around $600 more, to be exact.
Like anything money-related, whether or not it’s too expensive completely depends on your budget. It’s certainly not the most expensive kind of car to maintain, but there are cheaper options out there if $676 yearly seems like too much.
