Hi together, I am 30 years old and think about buying a new car for the first time. So far I had a 10 year old Twingo, who does not get the TÜV anymore. I would have 800€ free of charge, without having to give up on vacation or anything. At first I looked for used cars with less than 40,000 km, but I am a little confused, because these are only about 1800 € cheaper with the current new prices for small cars (Suzuki, Fiat…) (Internet) For the 8000 € I would get for example a new Suzuki Celerio or Citroen C1 or a Hyundai i10. I like the vehicles very well and also have climate. The fuel consumption is quite low at all. For 6000 € you get an approx. 4 years old car with 20,000 – 40,000 km. I drive about 4 days a week by train and especially Fr-So by car (about 12,000 km a year). Since I spend also almost 100 € a month for train driving, is only a small car in it. S o far I have seen it, a new small car (if you take the cheapest offer in the Ruhr region) loses about 800 € in value per year. For a used car it is almost as much. The leasing offers, which I found were all more expensive. Reliability (a few km or new car warranty) are extremely important for me. I read here in the forum that, for example, the VW UP should have occurred already at 30,000 km gear damage, which was no longer in the warranty. at 500 there are some creepy stories. Which variant would you prefer? Greeting R.
