Moin, I want to get a car for commuting to Hamburg. Daily journey about 140 km, most of the highway. It is clear that it has to make economic sense, even with the variable costs. My ideas are currently the following: – Some comfort and optics, therefore middle class starting from Bj 2000 (usual suspect Bmw e46, Audi a4, MB C, Volvo V50/S40/S60) – As a budget I have set myself 4500-6.500 euros, whereby in the sum also the costs for possible maintenance and repairs in the pl anten usage period should be included – I would want to drive the car for 2-3 years and then sell it, i.e. I would travel about 100,000 km with it The car jungle raises a big scepticism with me, if I also find something with my ambitions – especially since I know myself with cars technically not so well – what is good and what evil? – and my fear is that I buy a car, where high follow-up investments in repairs threaten. What do you think, for example, of the c200 cdi BJ 2000 – can you expect even larger investments here?: suchen.mobile.de/auto-inserat/mercedes-benz-c-200-cdi-elegance-slide-roof-full leather-top-zus-hamburg/174847677.html Or an A4 Bj 2003 – where at least the timing belt is probably due:http://suchen.mobile.de/…/177177486.html Thanks for the first time Bro
