What to Expect in This Price Range
At up to EUR 3,000 you will most often find vehicles that are 15 to 25 years old with higher mileage. Typical models include Mercedes W210, Opel Astra G/H, Fiat Punto, Renault Clio II, VW Golf 4, Škoda Fabia I, and older Peugeot 206 and 307 models. Most come with simple naturally aspirated engines from 1.2 to 2.0 litres, which makes maintenance easier and spare parts more affordable from independent mechanics.
