i am actually the third owner of my mkiv. some old lady was the original owner, then my brother purchased it, and finally i bought it from my brother.
if you just had a 60k tune up and everything is running a-ok right now, i'm sure you have nothing to worry about in the future.
problems that i've had in the past were both rear wheel bearings going out and a leaky water pump. i'm not sure of the price to repair the wheel bearings because i had my mechanic take care of it when he gave me a tune up at 175,000 miles. he quoted me $500 for the full tune up (timing belt, plugs, caps, all fluids flush/filled, etc) and he replaced my wheel bearings. as for the water pump, it started leaking at ~185,000 miles and it cost me ~$120 if i remember correctly. the rest is just simple maintenance like oil changes that i do myself and replacing worn tires.
the only problem i have right now is the squeaking noise in the rear. i plan to repair it later when i have some spare cash for it.
