| Post subject: | Any of you know anything about cars? |
I'm looking to buy a car and I have no idea what to look for (outside of what I DON'T want - which is anything French and anything microscopic or similar looking to Suzuki Swift/Mini Cooper/Fiat 500/etc.). The budget is some 13,000€ (can probably loan some cash if needed) - for comparison to Danish (over)prices, I can tell that a VW Passat/Audi A3 starts at 40,000€, Vauxhall/Opel Corsa at 17,500€ (5 doors) and Nissan Micra at 13,000€. I'm mainly looking for something that's cheap to maintain, decent mileage and 5 doors. Nothing used - I'd rather pay for a smaller car. Extras would be AC and cruise control. Any suggestions? |

Audi A1 or A3, both awesome and reliable cars and should be around that price range. |

It is if you buy second hand; can usually find them from 10-15k dependant on age. It wouldnt be brand new but you could easily find one from 2010 or 2011. |

Ah, missed that. Why nothing used? You overpay for new cars and their value plummets within a year of buying so it's always much better to buy used unless you've got money to throw around. Could always look at a Kia Picanto if you want brand new, they are nice cars and pretty reliable. |

Buying a used car is always going to be a gamble. If you get a bad one it'll cost as much in repairs as it does in purchase. You also get more money from selling a new car after you used it. Looking at an offer for a Kia Rio with diesel engine for the price of the equivalent gasoline model. They sell em with 7 year warranty, so a decent buy I reckon. |
