Hello guys, since I’m about to be 18 and so slowly looking for cars I would like to know your opinions on various ideas that I have. First of all, I have a budget of about 7500 – 800€, but I wouldn’t be angry about it if it got a little less, but I would still have a little bit of insurance and what happens. I would generally be interested in cars of the 70s and 80s, i.e. Granada, Capri, Rekord D (C would be good but maybe one way to go). My dream car would be the BMW E24, but I think it’s a bit expensive for a trainee or? A garage I would have available, especially many kilometers will probably not come together (working distance of 2 km, which I don’t always need the car for). Maintenance should not be too expensive, but it should not be too expensive for me. because less fuel consumption is important than the cost of spare parts (which of course have to be available for the time being, I would be grateful for advice) or maintenance and of course insurance, whereby I can insure the car on my father, who still has a contract with high SF-Class which will become free, so that should be kept within limits. However, I still have a motorcycle, but it is quite a savings box that should not be the problem. I don’t really know about the car screw, but I’m a trainee mechatronics technician, so in principle I’m not completely unaware of the technical aspect and that my father learned car mechanics in the 80s… So let’s call it learning 🙂 . The car would be moved 12 months a year, although as already mentioned, not very much. So that’s my points: if this is the case… To drive a car all year round, and to kill me afterwards in the maintenance costs or to keep it half-way in the frame? (That it is more expensive than a VW Golf 4 I know of course…). And does someone have special model recommendations? Thanks already for advice!
