So i want to buy a second hand car

bitdota

Here toyota is not so popular so it is hard to find a decent second hand asian car

 

That sucks, Asian cars are usually really reliable. And in Norway it's fairly easy to get a good deal on the older ones. Where in Europe do you live?

Main Rig: Intel Core i5 2500K @4.7Ghz, Noctua NH-U12s, Asus z68 V-Pro, Evga GTX 970, Samsung EVO 250Gb, Kingston DDR3 HyperX 1600 MHz 16GB,fractal design define r3, XFX XXX 850W

Laptop: Clevo w230st, 13.3" 1080p screen,  CPU intel i5 4200M(Someone want's to donate a i7-4700qm? :P), 8gb ram 1600Mhz, Geforce gtx 765m, SSD: mSata Evo 120Gb(still room for one more), HHD: 1Tb 7200rpm,

I don't know anything about the romanian car marked, But if it's that few toyota's for sale i would probably go with something a bit more common, for cheaper spear-parts etc..

I'm a huge fan of BMW and Mercedes. I know some of the 10-15 year old 3 series Bimmers have dropped in price to around $3500 - $3000--that's around your €3000 budget.

 

I've owned two Bimmers (a 2000 323i that got total by some asshole texting and a 2000 328Ci with 172K miles that I drive now) and I've had zero problems with them.

BMW parts are expensive here and not very fuel efficient they look good tho

Pls no Americanhos ( jk but really )

 

I'm from Europe i need to buy a second hand car for my self, 80% city usage. 

 

My budget is 2500 - 3000 euros what should i buy ?

 

City work you want something small (quick, cheep, easy to park), your budget is quite small so you will be looking at something Diesel and like an Opel Corsa, Renault Clio, etc etc. The old Derv/Diesel/GasOil engines in most made around the years 1995 to 2000 are very reliable and parts are available.

A friend had a 1993 Peugeot 306 that was reliable well beyond 200,000 miles (about 270,000km estimated). 

It easily got 50mpg which is,,,,, 4.7 litres per 100km.

Its not my fault I am grumpy, you try having a porcelain todger that's always hard!
