Cars by budget
Eight price levels, and at each a different answer to the same question: what do I get for this money, and what actually goes wrong with a purchase at this level?
Cars up to 3,000
Used cars up to 3,000: what is realistic at this level, which running costs come on top, and how to spot a car that will not leave you stranded in three months.
ViewCars up to 5,000
Used cars up to 5,000: the level at which a well-kept small or compact car with a service book is realistic. What to look at, which models last, what the running costs are.
ViewCars up to 10,000
Used cars up to 10,000: the level with the widest choice. Compacts, estates and a first SUV with a warranty become possible — what to look at.
ViewCars up to 15,000
Used cars up to 15,000: young used cars, nearly-new cars and a first electric car. What is possible at this level and what matters when buying.
ViewCars up to 20,000
Used cars up to 20,000: nearly-new cars, demonstrators and well-equipped SUVs. What to expect at this level.
ViewCars up to 30,000
Used cars up to 30,000: upper mid-range, SUVs and electric cars with usable range. What matters at this level.
ViewCars up to 50,000
Used cars up to 50,000: luxury cars, premium SUVs and second-hand sports cars. What actually sets the price at this level.
ViewCars from 50,000
Cars from 50,000: luxury, sports and collector cars. What matters when buying at this level.
