Depreciation insight A key consideration for anyone buying a used car is how quickly it will lose value. The Volkswagen Polo depreciation is consistent with the compact segment’s typical patterns: a vehicle will generally lose about 15‑20 % of its original value in the first year, and another 10‑15 % per year for the next several years. For the 2009 Polo, that means you could expect a first‑year value drop to roughly 80‑85 % of its original asking price. After four to five years on the road, a well‑maintained 2009 Polo might retain about 40‑45 % of its showroom value. These percentages are averages; actual figures vary depending on mileage, condition, geographic location, and market trends. What is a 2009 Volkswagen Polo worth? There is no single number, but using industry data, a low‑mileage 2009 Polo (under 50,000 km) with a clean service history would fall in the mid‑to‑high $5,000–$7,000 range in the U.S. market. A higher mileage or a model that has suffered minor damage would likely be closer to $3,500–$5,000. Even within the same cohort, the price can shift significantly based on how the car was driven, whether it was kept in a climate controlled environment, and its trim level. Understanding these nuances can help buyers gauge whether a particular listing offers true value. Comparative context When you compare the Volkswagen Polo price to similar cars, the finding is clear: the Polo
