I thought that I would change our second station wagon into a convertible. It is planned to buy the vehicle at the beginning of 2018 and to drive 1-2 years. Under 10,000 per year and throughout the entire year. I have already looked for used cars from BJ 2006: : BMW E93 from 10,000€ : Opel Astra TwinTop for less than 5,000€ purchase price is less the problem, but the swabe in me struggles with the not foreseeable follow-up costs: roof, transmission, engine, electronics,… I don’t like to rely on my luck that everything will go well. The low price speaks for the Opel. Spare parts are good to procure and in case of a capital damage I move it for a 1,000er to the parts recycler. The E93, on the other hand, is too expensive to simply deport it in case of major defects. And I don’t want to be dependent on additional insurances like e.g. GGG guarantee in case of damage. The predecessor E46 is hardly unbased and if then not much good Tiger than the E93. But he is older (rust risk?), has only one fabric roof and is burdened with the “correct 3” image. Leasing starts the “naked Muddi” at over 300€/month. And also buy with annual car and after two years I will lose more than 5,000€. So only the Opel remains or do you see any other options?
