So which car to buy for 200,000? In fact, there are simply unrealistic huge numbers of options. As they say - for every taste and color. German, Japanese, Russian, American - whatever you can buy a car for that kind of money. Well, for a more complete understanding of the topic, it is worth talking about several of the most popular options.
Small class
Speaking about which car to buy for 200,000 rubles, the first thing to note is those cars that belong to the small class. They are perhaps the most budgetary among all. For example, Hyundai Getz. This car was developed in the late 90s, and in 2002 it was already presented in Geneva.
Low price and more or less good quality - this is how you can characterize this car. By the way, the model has another undoubted advantage, but it consists in a variety of configurations. There are several versions, and all have different engines and gearboxes.
B-class is also a budget option. Renault Logan - a good car for 200,000 rubles. It entered the market in the early 2000s and, in its new condition, cost about $ 9,000. There are two complete sets - 1.4 and 1.6-liter engines. Their power is small - one 75 liters. with., and the other 90. But such a machine will cost inexpensively, especially now. Two hundred thousand will be even too much.
German representatives
If we talk about which car for 200,000 rubles is really worth it, then it will definitely be a car belonging to German production. All motorists are well aware that it is under such brands as Mercedes-Benz, Audi, BMW, Opel, Volkswagen, and the most reliable and high-quality cars were published.
I would also like to note the Mercedes W124. Such cars are sold from 100 thousand to half a million. But these are very expensive models, such as, for example, the “five hundredth” wolf, on which fans of budget cars will just have to go broke. But the most suitable option could be the 1991 model for 130,000 rubles. Or, for example, E200 - just for two hundred thousand. 220 l with., the maximum speed - 220 km / h, leather interior, amazing appearance ... This car is worth buying! The reviews that Mercedes owners leave about this car really inspire you to buy the same “iron horse”.
And you can even get a version in the 123rd body - it is on a model younger than the 124th Mercedes, and their characteristics are almost the same. Only outwardly different. And then, the 123rd Mercedes is already a rarity. Yes, and it costs in good condition about 80,000 rubles. So it turns out quite a budget, but nonetheless a solid prestigious option.
Golf class
Speaking about which car to buy for 200,000 rubles, it is worth noting the attention of the famous “Ford Focus”. Moderately powerful, but reliable - that’s how it can be characterized. Several engines - 1.4-liter, as well as 1.6 and 1.8 liters. Power varies from 75 to 131 liters. from. There are versions with automatic transmissions, but 5-speed manual ones are, of course, more popular. What about the prices? The budget model is 2000/2001. Its cost is 155,000 rubles. The most expensive was made in 2003 - for it will have to give 186,000 p. But many do not dare to acquire the “Focus”, since it is very expensive to replace shock absorbers on it. Although rarely what kind of car is “aged” does not need any repairs - even cosmetic ones.
Volkswagen Passat - Low Cost Option
German representatives were mentioned a little higher, but then attention was focused on the world famous Mercedes. Now I would like to talk about the Volkswagen Passat. That's what kind of car you can buy for 200,000 easily. This is a fifth generation car, which was published in 1996. High-quality, stylish interior, a huge number of different options, a spacious interior, excellent handling and good motors - this is how you can characterize this car. The model was offered with nine engines, but by far the most popular are the 1.8-liter. Well, the cost of Volkswagen cars of this version is about 200,000 rubles. The only caveat to consider: when buying a car, you need to check the pressure in the turbine. If it is weak, then you should be wary. Probably the turbine is out of order. Replacement is not cheap - about 50,000 rubles.
Business Cars
The prices for new business-class cars of many people make us think about buying not a new car, but a used one. Well, the decision is logical, because not all modern cars can boast better characteristics than some cars “aged”. Special attention deserves the Volvo S80. The cost of cars known by this name is just about 200 thousand rubles. So what can you tell about this car? So, this is a front-wheel drive business sedan with a presentable appearance. Even today, in a stream of modern cars, it will look profitable. If you look, you can find two versions - with a 2.4 and 2.5 liter engine. Basically, the models are “automatic”, but the mechanics can, in principle, be found.
What is the price? The 1998 version will cost 199,000 rubles, but later models will be more expensive - about 210,000 rubles.
Representatives of the "Van"
Speaking about prices for new cars and old ones, I would like to tell not only about sedans and station wagons. Van also deserve attention, because there is a demand for them. So, perhaps we should talk about the Dodge Caravan. If you talk about what kind of car to buy for 200,000 really, then this model will be the most popular option among vans. Its main advantage is sliding doors and comfortable chairs that can move around the cabin. Due to this, it turns out not bad to transform the salon space, making it even more spacious.
The car is sold in several versions - with engines of 3 and 2.5 liters. All engines are V-shaped “six”. It is interesting that absolutely all versions of this model came out only with “automatic machines”. In normal condition, this car will cost about 200,000 thousand rubles.
A machine known throughout Russia
Chevrolet Niva - who has not heard of this car? Many Russians are puzzled by the question of where to buy a car profitably. Well, this car is sold in almost all cities of our country. He at one time was very popular, and these models were bought up very quickly. And the prices for cars in Russia of this brand, by the way, were rather small. And all because the car was created based on the VAZ-2123. In technical terms, it turned out to be absolutely classic “Niva”, except in the new equipment. The choice in this case is small - only “mechanics” of the boxes, and there is only one engine - 1.7 liters with 80 “horses”. Now car prices in Russia are quite high, however, “Niva” is still a budget option. The 2003 version costs about 150,000 rubles. The most expensive option, 2006, will cost about 200,000 p.
"Lada Priora" - the queen of Russian roads
Perhaps, among all kinds of “Ladas”, the model called “Priora” is the most famous and bought. And to this day, AvtoVAZ continues to release new versions of this car, which is so loved by Russian drivers. "Adult" "Priora" will cost just about 200,000 rubles. And in good condition. So, for example, a 2010 car, a three-door, 98 horsepower, with a manual transmission will cost about 200,000. Although there are cheaper Russian cars. Brands of Soviet-made cars do not sparkle with variety, but among the proposals for the sale of “iron horses” you can even find too budget options. 15,000 - yes, for this amount you can buy a car! Much less than the originally estimated two hundred thousand. True, it will be the old “Moskvich” or “Zaporozhets”, but still some agree on this. Everyone has different goals, requirements and financial situation.
In general, there are many other options. Toyota, Audi, Chevrolet, Honda, BMW - today the choice of used cars is large, so it is possible to buy almost any car. The main thing is that it suits the price and the requirements of the motorist.
Cheap car: how not to miscalculate?
And finally, speaking about the cost of cars and other nuances regarding the issue of buying / selling cars, I would like to say how to choose the right model. How not to miscalculate and not give your money for a completely damaged car, on which a person will drive once a week, and the rest of the time - to repair it? The topic is relevant, so it is worth listening to experts in this matter. First of all, they advise you to take the car to the service station and give some money for inspection before buying to identify deficiencies. So no one can deceive a potential buyer, and he will definitely know which car he is buying. The second nuance is to inspect the car yourself. It is important that he satisfy the buyer directly. In principle, a car can be bought if there are no serious flaws. For example, problems regarding the engine, suspension, battery, fuel tank. All other little things can be easily “patched”, as they say - it will come out inexpensively. But with serious problems you will have to tinker and spend a lot of money on their elimination. So you should be vigilant when buying a car.
