Hello to each other, I’m new here in the forum and I’m looking for tips for buying a used car. Thanks to everyone who can help me with tips Because my work is no longer accessible by bike, I would like to buy a car for the first time in my life. It should only work and my knowledge is also underground. However, I have been trying a lot to read and inform myself for a few days. Budget: up to 2,500Euro Usage: 45km a day on the S tadtautobahn durability: hopefully 5 years (at approx. 15,000 km/year) My questions: Because of the budget, cars that were produced between 2000-2005 come into question and have between 50,000-90,000 km down. How should I capture the balance between age and consumed kilometers? Is it better to produce a car with 90,000 km but in 2005 (12 years old), or to take one with 50,000 km down, but produced in 2000 (17 years old)? Models: I don’t care comfortable to It shouldn’t be sporty either, just safe, small (I’m not a good parker) and can do as long as possible without repairs. I found a Mercedes class A 140 W 168 to these criteria, also a VW Polo, although they are always a bit more expensive and have more kilometers down. The VW Fox also fits well with my criteria, but I have already read a lot of bad things about it. And with an Asian manufacturer (or Fiat?) I’m not sure if they are so good. Since I know nothing, I don’t want to have to go to the workshop so often. Can someone give me some tips and help me? I am naturally also grateful for other model proposals and open for everything. Thank you very much! Sarah
