[@hermanmunster3358]

If you're considering spending £7k on a used car, especially the cars you're looking at, you're hardly going to compromise so much to settle for a bog standard base model Sandero, even if it is brand new. After all, if you're thinking about buying a Sandero, you're obviously on a tight budget for EVERYTHING, including insurance, running costs, road tax etc. So this comparison is a bit pointless, imo. It would be more realistic to pitch the Sandero against a used Vauxhall Mokka, Nissan Quashqai, or even a Ford C-Max, cars from a similar market segment with similar running costs.

[@GeordiLaForgery]

The road tax on these are ridiculous.

[@DashCamSerbia]

Yup. 5.000 for a car, and 2.000 for fixing it up. But still, buy a used car, not Sandero. Unless you want to get killed in a first crash. I drive 2009. Sandero...

[@hermanmunster3358]

@@DashCamSerbia I don't think anybody is criticising the Sandero, certainly not me, it is what it is. But to compare it to a BMW 650GT or whatever, is pointless. Because even a used BMW will cost way more to insure and maintain than a new Sandero. They are completely different cars, aimed at different people with different needs. Yeah you could buy a used BMW for £7k, but if it is a choice between that and a Sandero, why on earth are you even looking at the Sandero?

Your videos are usually excellent, with great content and production but I feel that you have missed the point with this one.

It is not for racing, track days and 7 miles a gallon driving. You would have been better looking at second hand 208/9s, Mini's, Renaults and all the Korean models.

@Paul Blackman buy any old 1.8 petrol astra g/h or 5cyl volvo and theyll go for 10+yrs with minimal maintenance for sub £1k... And will have more extras than a base dacia... Insurance road tax and servicing wont cost you £7k in 10years summed up on them... Been there done that... If money is tight, there is cheaper solution... If money aint tight, youll end up buying a better car... If money is so-so tight ull buy something used for less The only reason why ud buy a new dacia is either way that you need something for the rest of your life, that youre close to already or because you need a runaround and youre posh enough to "not to sit where someone else sat before" There is always a better alternative to base cheap cars... Even if its a 3year old car that has more equipment... Even if its a yaris Also im trusting in german/swedish/japanese engineering more than french...

Seriously - what are you getting at, drooling at 155 mph top speed, possibly more? Even if you can do entirely without your driver's licence - everything above 120 mph is purely academic, and I live in Germany, home of the unlimited* Autobahn (*conditions apply: local restrictions, traffic and enormous roadworks slow your average speed down below the level of a French Autoroute). In urban traffic, most of these cars are downright stupid.

Do cars just become worthless in the uk? In Australia the s8 d3 starts at $45000 used, $20,000 for a 650i with stupid high km’s and a 8 year old Abarth 500 costs $15000

[@GraveUypo]

haha. i spent 2 months of research before buying a used car, and if there's one thing i took out of it is that mileage is NOT what you should look at. literally 2 out of 17 cars i went personally to take a look had unadulterated milage. the rest averaged a displayed mileage below HALF of their true mileage. and that's on AVERAGE. So that "oh it's only 85 thousand miles" is a trap. Also never buy something you couldn't buy new. the car might be used, but the labor and parts for maintenance are all new, always.

Skoda Citigo 2018-2019 Monte Carlo Editon goes around £7000-8000 and properly one of best/most stylish city cars in the market. Great on insurance, petrol cost and maintenance costs is low. I would recommend 👌🏽

[@dannywhite132]

But its a skoda so you're gonna have to spend every day lying to your friends about why you can't show them your car

[@WHxYouTube]

@@dannywhite132 I wouldn't be ashamed to drive a Citigo Monte Carlo. I reckon it looks pretty cool tbh both exterior and interior, everyone has their own tastebuds. Yeah it's a Skoda badge, but the inside is a VW; it has won multiple awards for best City Car so I can't be the only one who agrees 😌

@@dannywhite132 Your comparing a movie award to the same as a car award...... Either way like I said each to their own. I wouldn't complain driving a £7000 car, I'm not made of money but consider myself fortunate then most in this world. Find it abit shallow when people judge others for the vechicles they drive anyways, but again your friend circle is different to mine.

[@wallyblackler46]

Magine the repair cost on one of those pieces on that vehicle

[@oksquall]

I'm surprised the XC-90 didn't get a shout. I know it's a bit more common sight than most of the other cars, but it has a lot of positives going for it.

[@denisevirg]

This is really helping me, thanks! I live in 2 countries and need to buy 2 cars with a budget, but I like a luxury.

E92 330i Buy one for 5k then spend 2k on making it mint... You have literally the best 3.0 straight six cylinder money(7k) can buy...almost 300bhp with remap filter and exhaust... no turbo just smooth as silk engine with 50/50 handling and a good boot... You welcome😉

[@Demotruk]

These cars are going to be way more expensive to run. If you're in the market for a Dacia, you're not in the market for one of these.

anyone else remember when jeremy and richard bought expensive cars for the price of a nissan pixo, ah the good old days

[@slideways8022]

Paul Blackman it’s never best to buy new, 2-3 years old is best, or constantly switch £2000 shit boxes as they break

[@iainmclaughlan1557]

I would prefer a base Dacia Sandero with black bumpers and no central locking. These sports cars don’t grab me. I test drove the Sandero but went for the Škoda Citigo as it is easier to drive (I am a driving instructor). But even if I was driving it myself I have little interest in sporty or flashy cars. Maybe I am weird. I like reliability. My family car is a 1999 Nissan Primera, which I have had for almost 12 years and is bulletproof reliable.

[@harshitbaweja5594]

Apart from huge repair bill when these cars break down somebody thinking of buying a Dacia would probably not like to pay huge fuel bills either, even if we assume those cars are going to be in great condition.

[@TheeSuperJazzer]

If you want a new car with warranty and not to worry about anything for 3 years, Dacia are a bloody good bargain. Boring as fuck to drive and boring to actually be in, but its a "Good" car.... But I'll stick to my 3 Series.

[@Kufikwasf]

Yeah, that Audi s8 is priced at £40k for a 2007 model here in Denmark. The Sandero is £10k brand new.

[@DashCamSerbia]

What people don't seem to understand is that if you budget is 7.000 for a used car, you can't buy a 7.000 Pounds car. You can buy a 5.500 to 6.000 Pounds car, and use the rest of the money to fix it up. Because even if you find a used car that is in the best possible condition, you will stil need to invest money in it to fix at least a few things up.

100% sure us normal people couldn't run any of these older gems the road tax alone is insane. If you're looking for the cheapest possible car in the uk to buy to start with you ain't buying an old 400hp audi....... or a v8 bmw..... or a in insane merc........ or a Porsche Now the Abarth tho. I likey

[@chemicalyinbalanced]

£9000 is the cheapest now for Darcia. Prices are 2 grand over for everything these days, including second hand. A half decent Focus ST is around £8500

Such a good car journalist Rory, but on the BMW side I belive the M3's give less problems than that 335is. And most of them are tuned and modified.

The only similarity here is the 7k mark!!, What about the maintenance costs, mileage n the warranty over dacia!?

Agree there. Would rather set my own parameters on the 0-60 times as you do with engine, year etc
