Hello Motor Talk Community, after a long time of thinking I finally made the decision to get a car. Especially due to family reasons, had to buy a car after all. It would be my first car, but would run over the insurance from my father (I am only 23 years old). I have had my driver’s license for 3 years without accident and have driven the last years every week 2-3 times. I look like in the title a small car for the city, with which I My budget is 500€ . I live in the area of Leipzig and have only found this car so far, which could really convince me. Mazda 2 1.5 Impression I have informed myself in the last days/weeks and the Mazda 2 is supposed to be a compact car. Is there only from the data any things I should consider with the indicated cars? The mileage of 125,000 km makes me Worries and especially that the “ESP lamp shines”. What can it be for a reason and how much could the costs be for me? Are there possibly even better “alternatives”? In my eyes I also had a Fiat Grande Punto or the classic VW Golf. Would I be very happy about a few answers! Greetings from Leipzig.
