Moin together, I recently made my driver’s license. Now I want to close my first car soon. Here I ask what makes more sense: 1. a “scrap box” for 1000-2000€ with TÜV new, which I drive 2 years “dead”, maybe it also lasts a little longer. Here I thought of a small car a la Twingo, Lupo, Corsa, Ka, … + cheap purchase + faster or earlier purchase, since I do not have to save really long + scratches, bumps would be relatively ega l – Risk that wear parts have to be replaced faster – running costs the same as with a newer one, I can put less money aside to buy me a new, better one in 2,3.4 years. 2. a slightly newer car (ca. from 2006) for max. 600€. Here I thought of a 1er BMW, Audi A3, VW Golf/Polo, Seat Leon/Ibiza. + newer + looks better + lasts longer? – Purchase more expensive – Purchase later, since I have to save first – Damage would be very annoying e Insurance and consumption are about the same for both. Would be cool if you wrote your opinions/experiences about it. How/What was your first car? Thank you and best regards, Dennis
