The amount of 250,000 rubles is the most common budget for the purchase of a car. It is no longer small, but not big either. The debate about which car is better to buy for this or that money is eternal, so it's better to just know what options are there.
First, you need to decide how to properly split the cars. Usually people consider two parameters - a new or used car and a foreign or domestic manufacturer.
If we take into account only domestic new cars, then you can find the option of buying Lada Priora, Kalina, Largus, Granta. As a rule, these offers are piecemeal and of the simplest configuration. Usually a warehouse is closed, so everything is sold out cheaper.
Used cars of domestic and foreign production
Domestic used cars in this price category are represented by almost any model of a very different year of manufacture and condition. You can even buy a Gazelle of 2009-2010 model year. All of the above models are also available for this amount.
The market for foreign used cars is much wider. The brands that may fall under this price are Toyota, Ford, Hyundai, Nissan, Volkswagen, Chevrolet, KIA, Mazda and other well-known manufacturers. Of course, you can buy a Mercedes or a BMW, but, most likely, they will be quite old, with "good" mileage, or require investment.
A car for 250,000 rubles will have a manual transmission and a small engine capacity of 1, 4-1, 6 liters by 80-90%. The range of the year of manufacture can be from 1990 to 2004 or even 2007, depending on the popularity of the car.
You should not rush to cheap offers, first you need to familiarize yourself with the availability of spare parts for the car, otherwise then you can go broke on repairs, and no one will buy a car from you later.
A good choice might be the Ford Fusion, Focus 2005-2006 or Audi A4-A8 1998-2002. All these models are made to last and are not going to break down, besides, the number of spare parts on the market goes off scale. That is why you can still often meet Audi 80 or 100, which in fact have long outlived their own.
Other options for buying a car for 250,000 rubles
You won't have to choose too much of new foreign cars. It can be Daewoo Nexia, Lada, Lifan, Geely or ZAZ, known in the past for its "Cossacks".
The most correct decision would be to purchase a used car of your choice. You can also look in the direction of cars after an accident, as they are often sold. If you are familiar with cars or have such acquaintances, then you can buy a car on the go, which you will make later if you want, but at the same time it will be better than the available "whole" options for the same amount.
