"Hey guys, just scored a sweet deal on a 2017 Dacia Sandero for my buddy, but now I'm low-key worried about maintenance costs. The car's got 80k miles on it, and I've heard the newer Sanderos have had some issues with electrical gremlins and transmission problems. Has anyone out there had any experience with this age/model? What are the expected costs for maintenance?"

"Haha, nice one on scoring a sweet deal! Maintenance on the Sandero is pretty decent, just make sure your friend's not slacking on oil changes and tire rotations. Also, I've heard some Dacia models have had issues with the transmission, so keep an eye out for that"

"Lol nice one on the deal, but I gotta say, a 2017 Sandero ain't exactly known for its reliability. You might wanna budget for some unexpected repairs down the line, especially with the mileage they're likely on. Have you checked the maintenance history yet?"

"Lucky mate! I've had good experience with Daewoo's (same parent company) maintenance costs, but every car's got its quirks. You might wanna research some common issues with the Sandero and set aside a bit of cash for potential repairs just in case"

Lol, congrats on scoring a sweet deal, dude! Don't sweat it too much, maintenance on a 2017 Sandero should be relatively cheap, right? It's an older model, but not so old that parts will be super hard to come by.

Dacia's not bad on maintenance, but I recall some folks complaining about the Logan's transmission issues, which might be similar to the Sandero's. Have you considered getting a mechanic to take a look before the purchase? Also, how many miles is the 2017 Sandero got?
