Buying advice Galant or Carisma up to 3000 euros.

Hello, a friend of mine is looking for a car. But his budget is very limited – to 3000 euros. Now he thought rather of a Japanese, because they are supposed to be so problem-free even in old age. What about the Mitsubishi Galant or Carisma in this price range? It should become a gasoline (1.6-2.0). Which engines are rather economical and reliable? Which engines should not even be looked at? Thanks!! Greeting P.S.: that it is VERY on the condition of the Aut It’s all right.
