Where to Buy a Good, Used Car in Europe? How to Buy a Used Car Cheap?

These are two separate questions. And they matter—because a good car is usually far from a cheap one. The real art is finding the compromise between your expectations and your budget. The price of the car and its condition will always be the result of those two factors.

Never do it the other way around. If you start with a cheap price and work backward, you'll walk straight into trouble.

Buying a car is about defining four key pieces of data first. If you want to buy a good car cheap, here's how to do it:

  1. Start with your budget. Let's say €20,000.

  2. Set your maximum mileage. Be realistic.

  3. List your minimum equipment. What do you absolutely have to have?

  4. The year – this will come naturally once the first three are locked in.

Got it? Now plug those numbers into Mobile.de, Blocket, or Otomoto. Once the results appear, sort the cars by lowest mileage first.

Logic says: if you've set your budget, your max mileage, and your equipment needs, then one of the top cars on that list will be the one you're looking for. Simple, right? Well… it's a very good start.

Then call me. Before you start negotiating prices on your own.
