If you have a limited budget for buying a car, and you do not want to get into credit bondage, pay attention to inexpensive car models. These will not necessarily be models of the domestic auto industry, foreign cars in basic configurations sometimes cost the same, but are made of much better quality. Even big-name automakers have a range of mass-market models at an attractive price point.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide how much you are willing to spend on a car. It should include not only the cost of the car itself, but also the installation of additional equipment, insurance, registration and purchase of the little things necessary for operation. Keep in mind that it is very difficult to buy a car in basic configuration without additional services imposed by the dealer.
Step 2
Visit several car dealerships. Official dealers have the same car prices set by the automaker. But the terms of delivery and sale may differ. Queues are again forming for popular inexpensive cars. But when ordering a car, you can choose both the desired color and the complete set.
Step 3
Pay attention to the cons of budget cars. As a rule, cheap equipment has low engine power, simple trim, minimal power accessories and security systems. The missing elements can, of course, be supplied independently - a radio tape recorder, fog lights, power windows.
Step 4
Explore what inexpensive car models are currently on the market. New products include Hyundai Solaris, prices for which start at 424 thousand rubles. In doing so, you get a 107-horsepower engine on a full-fledged sedan of the original design. A close competitor to Solaris is also the Korean novelty Kia Rio. In terms of technical characteristics, these machines are as similar as possible. Fans of small cars will like the Kia Picanto in a new body and at a price of 370 thousand rubles for a car in the basic configuration.
Step 5
If you want a car from a more established automaker, head to a Volkswagen dealership. The Polo sedan model is just designed for the capricious buyer who wants to get a quality car for little money. In addition, the cars of this brand are known for their quality and you will not have to worry that you have made a mistake in the "stingy pays twice" style.
Step 6
To save even more, wait until the end of the year, when they start selling cars of the outgoing year. If the year of manufacture is not important to you, this is a great chance to get a discount on a car or get good gifts for it.
