The reasons why used Polos are expensive include the following: 1. Affordable price: The car itself is economically priced with a low starting point. Additionally, it is a very durable, economical, and agile model with a large ownership base and relatively low maintenance costs, making it highly popular in the used car market. Its resale value is also significantly higher compared to other models. 2. Engine: Volkswagen cars generally hold their value well due to their excellent engines. 3. Technical support: Volkswagen's mature technology and comprehensive after-sales service system contribute to its high resale value.

We've driven quite a few used cars, and the high price of second-hand Volkswagen Polos is mainly due to supply-demand imbalance. There are few well-maintained cars on the market, yet the demand is huge. Everyone loves its fuel-efficient and durable characteristics—it only consumes around 6 liters per 100km in the city, and maintenance is cheap, with parts replacement costing just a few dozen yuan. Its resale value is astonishingly high; even after four or five years, it can still sell for more than half its original price, unlike some cars that depreciate quickly. Its compact size makes parking a breeze, and it’s equipped with multiple airbags and has excellent crash test ratings, giving drivers peace of mind. All these factors combined naturally drive up the price, and many people feel it’s worth the extra cost for long-term reliability and savings.

I just bought a used Polo for commuting, slightly over budget but totally worth it. Why the premium? Demand is huge, especially in cities with license plate restrictions where everyone's scrambling for compact commuter cars. The fuel efficiency pleasantly surprised me—just over 7L/100km in city driving saves a fortune annually. Maintenance is simple; last oil change cost just over 200 yuan with readily available parts. Excellent resale value—data shows over 50% residual value after five years, meaning no loss. Safety features like ISOFIX child seat anchors are great, and its size makes urban parking a breeze. Though pricier, its reliability gives peace of mind.

What is the difference between Tesla's 18-inch and 19-inch wheels?

Tesla's 18-inch and 19-inch wheels differ in the following aspects: 1. Size: The 18/19-inch refers to the diameter of the wheel rim, with the 18-inch wheel being smaller than the 19-inch. 2. Manufacturing cost and material usage: The cost to produce a 19-inch wheel is higher than that of an 18-inch. 3. Price: Generally, for the same model, the larger the size, the higher the price. 4. Comfort: Smaller wheels with thicker tire walls provide better road vibration absorption, making the 18-inch wheels more comfortable to drive compared to the 19-inch. 5. Fuel consumption: Larger wheels have wider treads, increasing friction with the ground and thus higher fuel consumption, so the 18-inch wheels consume less fuel than the 19-inch.

Why does the Polo fail to start?

Here are the main reasons why the Polo fails to start: 1. No fuel: Gasoline is the power source of a car. Only by burning gasoline can the car move. If there is insufficient gasoline, it can easily cause the car to fail to start. 2. Dead battery: The battery is crucial for starting the car. If the battery is dead, it will cause the car to fail to start. 3. Incorrect gear position: If the gear is not placed correctly when starting, it may also cause the car to fail to start. The car can only start normally when the gear is placed in P or N position. 4. Spark plug issues: The spark plug is a critical component in the car's ignition process. Whether the car can start depends on whether the spark plug is working properly. If the car fails to start, check the spark plug for any faults. 5. Damaged fuel pump: The fuel pump is an important part of the car's fuel system. If the fuel pump is damaged, it may cause fuel supply failure, resulting in the car failing to start.
