Where are the lowest car prices in Europe?
When it comes to buying a car in Europe, you should take into account not only the price of the car, but also the quality and history of the car. The most popular low prices for quality cars can be found in Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, France and Portugal.
If we are talking about low prices only, without taking into account the history and quality of the car, then the countries to look for a cheap car in Europe are Estonia and Germany.
Example on the car Kia Rio 2015, manual transmission, gasoline.
The price of a used Kia Rio in Germany, Italy and Belgium is 5500 €, when the Netherlands the price of the car is 100 € less – 5400 €. In France the same car costs already 200 € less, and in Estonia the lowest price for Kia Rio is 6800 €.
It should be understood that this is only an example and different cars have different demand in different countries.
Why are cars so cheap in Europe?
Maintaining a used or old car in Europe is not financially profitable. Parts, services and regular breakdowns are often the price of monthly payments for a new car. Also, since the standard of living in Europe is high, most car drivers can afford new cars.
