minus-squareddplf@szmer.infolinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·17 days agoI don’t think you can have a large family wagon for €400, at least in my country (Poland) Buying a new car is a poor financial decision in general, considering things like depreciation or extreme leasing costs. So yeah, I agree, buying a used car is the way to go, but getting one also gets much much more difficult the older and cheaper you want it to be.
