What cars would make sense with a 200,000 budget? It'll be my first car (Palio 1.3 MultiJet, 1.4/1.2 petrol - Accent 1.3 - Albea 1.3 Multi - Honda 1.5 EX) If anyone has suggestions other than these, say so; otherwise I'm open to user reviews and advice about these cars.

13 repliesMost cars you'll find around 200,000 TL will disappoint you. If you can go up to around 250, my only recommendation is a Fiat Palio or Siena, or a Renault Clio or Symbol. Their parts are cheap, they're easy to repair, and they don't give trouble easily. I was in the same situation - I found a really clean 1.2 8V Palio, 5-door, with just over 4,000 km, nothing's happened to it. I've never been stranded, never overheated. If you're getting a Fiat, look at the 1.2 and 1.4 in the models I mentioned. I don't know much about the Renault side either, but again look at the 1.2 and 1.4. If you have questions, I'll answer.
Translated from TurkishTipo/Tempra ones with the 1.6 engine look appealing too, as an extra option.
Translated from TurkishA bit of hassle is acceptable if it's a car whose engine parts are easy to swap - other than the head and the inside of the block, I don't have a problem removing, installing, adjusting, or diagnosing most parts, since I'm already in this trade. But the comments you've made as users are very valuable to me, and I'll definitely consider your suggestions. I looked at the Siena, but since I don't have knowledge about running it, I'm a bit hesitant. Same with the diesel Palio, since diesel cars have somewhat heavier maintenance and labor demands, that's a bit of an issue.
Translated from TurkishEspecially because the 1.3 mtj engine has fallen out of favor in the market, I feel like I should drop the diesel idea after your comment - I'll definitely look specifically at the 1.2 or 1.4. Thank you, I'm open to suggestions.
Translated from TurkishThe 1.3 Multijet is an immortal engine. Won't let you down. Worth buying. I'd say go for the Albea. The interior and trunk space will also do the job for you. Just make sure it wasn't a former taxi.
Translated from TurkishA petrol 1.4 Palio, or a 1.3 MTJ Palio provided you get it properly maintained. With a 200k budget a Clio 2 could work too, but it'll be more of a strain. There was also a Polo 98/99, if you can find one that's worth a look too - the naturally aspirated manual one won't give you much trouble.
Translated from TurkishI bought a Palio Weekend 1.6 petrol last year and have spent quite a lot on it since then. Original parts are hard to find, it's mostly aftermarket, but those aren't great either. Now it's putting out black smoke and its inspection is in February. My mechanic says if I can, I should get rid of it ASAP. I use it for work, it mostly just sits idle. I don't want to confuse you, but this is just what I've experienced.

Translated from TurkishI could recommend the Peugeot 106 Quicksilver at first, the GTi could cause problems. You could look at a Corsa Van 1.3 Multijet or a Fiesta Van - all of these cars are charming both in looks and feel.
