Hi guys! I'm looking to buy my first car and I have a budget of around 1.5mil, I can stretch up to about 1.7 mil and that would be the maximum. I have a few cars in mind and I would love it if you can shed some light because I've never bought a car before and I don't want to risk buying a car that might bump into a lot of issues in the future.
Most of the cars in my budget are from the early to late 90s with a mileage at about 150K to 200K. Is the long mileage something I should be very concerned about based on my budget?
I am looking for a car that would take it easy on my pocket, a car that looks averagely good, is comfortable to drive, and can average about 30km to 40km a day without major issues.
These are some of the cars that I have my eye on, please let me know what you think will be the best option and it would be great if you could also suggest some other options. 😁
Peugeot 406 (offers more features than most cars in my budget)
Mazda Astina (I heard that parts are hard to find, is it true?)
Honda EG8 (most of the ones in my budget seem to be very banged up and in need of repairs)
Lancer CB1 (most of the ones in my budget seem to be very banged up and in need of repairs)
Surrounded by various different nice car models in Germany but still fascinated by the Presea, Bluebird U13 and the Mark II.. The first cut is the deepest.. Baby I know, the first cut is the D he he he
What is the deal with the car market these days!!
I went to check on a Jimny, 2016 2nd owner and he's hellbent on 6.8mil for the thing,
approx 50000km+ mileage
Needs tyres, rear shock absorbers leaking and there has been an aircon repair as well.
(Approx 400k LKR in pending repairs making the total 7.2mil)
Whereas a brand new one can be imported between 8.2-9.5 given the grade and winning bid.
I ponder what the mentality is of the people of this country...🤣
