Hello dear car experts, although I have had my driver’s license for almost 8 years now, I am now for the first time in front of my own car. However, I have no idea about the area, so of course I have a few questions: I had to buy a used, 3-4 year old small car (3-doors), budget up to 6000 €. On planned useful life I have in mind so 5 years with a distance of 15-20,000 km per year. Things: -Adequate consumption -Safety -Reliability, I don’t really want to run into the workshop regularly because the car has some kind of mess. Now the first question for me is: Are these demands even realistic with my budget, or do I have to take more money in my hand? Up to what mileage can one fight without hesitation? And on what annual repair costs do I have to pay for such a car? What model would you recommend in the price range?
