Hello, I have my driver’s license soon and I’m looking for my first car. I’m almost daily on mobile.de and look at cars but I’m not sure what kind of car would be best for me. I’m about 20, I don’t have a fixed job and need my money for my start-up, which means that my budget is limited. However, I don’t want to spend three digits on a car that hardly drives anymore or a Twingo, Matiz. I want to get the most for my money. . 1500€ for a car would be super, 2000€ fine but 250€ is my absolute limit of pain. The car should cost as little as possible in maintenance and insurance, and best at least 12 months TÜV. Repairs and wear parts can be re-made would be a disaster for me. I always check in the description whether the timing belts have been re-made, and whether the engine and gearbox are running well. Are there any further things I have to pay attention to, and how many km maximum? 3 cars the I have looked at the Corsa C, Peugeot 206 (or 207) and the Polo. I personally like the 206 most. For the price range I think that the 206 looks very good (inside and outside). I have heard that models have problems with the electronics before 2006 and of others that Peugeots are generally rather unreliable and can cost money. I have not seen many Polos in this price range, and I have noticed that Polos have a weak performance/hub space ratio But otherwise I have heard the Polos are good cars. If I had to decide without you, I would buy a Corsa because Opel has a very good reputation in the field of price/performance and my gut feeling tells me that it is financially the best decision. My head wants Corsa, my heart wants 206, stupidly said 😛 Which would you recommend me? It doesn’t have to be one of the 3, but I don’t want a car from the lower small car category like a Ford Ka or Twingo. And what else do I have to consider when buying, except timing belts and TÜV? Location: Berlin +50km or Dortmund +150km Thank you in advance Sincerely
