This time we have a very original request!
In principle, all questions are original. Everyone has their own requirements, budget and wishes. Then it is our turn to be the icing on the cake. Sometimes you already know what the best option is, sometimes we have to think for a moment. But occasionally there is a question that you think: “Ehhh, jahaaa this, we really have little good to find out.”
That feeling we had with the next request for the Autoblog-advice. Get to know Timo. Timo is a student of Economics in Nijmegen and he is going with 5 other students to a journey through Eastern Europe and Russia. He already has several possibilities will be calculated. A van rental in the summer may not be as beneficial as you might think. So, Economics student, went Timo to count. If everyone just 500 euro inlegt, they can rent a car, but perhaps there is also one to buy. At the end you sell the car on again and hold you there still on it.
Before we go any further, the requirements-wish list of Timo and his comrades:
Current /previous cars:None
Sale / lease:Sale
Business / private:Private
Budget:€ 3.000
Annual mileage:Not applicable
Brandstofvoorkeur:No
Reason to purchase another car:room for 6 and their luggage for a monsterrit
Composition:Six students
Preferred brands /models:Renault Espace?
No-go models / marks:None
Since they are with z ” n sixes and a lot of space, we are looking for an MPV. It is unbelievable how much choice there is. For a full-size MPV is not really a current type of car. Too big, too heavy and too thirsty. That also offers benefits, because for 3 mille can be a great people-carrier to afford. It is also a disadvantage, since you are the car a month later want to sell. Good brush, nice pictures, nice text there and maybe is a trending topic on social media and goes a bit faster. Or you follow the tips of Casper. But first, let us focus on the purchase of an MPV. We take the options with you by:
Fiat Bounce:
Finally a long cherished wish come true @Robbert01: the Champions Fiat is recommended! And with a reason, because the are heavily underrated cars. You can be there with his sixes in without your an idiot great to have a car. The chassis is excellent: you can pretty corners with a Bounce. Disadvantage for long distance is the moderate of comfort and transmission. This is too short, so that you on the highway high up in the revs. For 3 mille you have a wide choice, including the post-facelift model. Looks pretty nice and if you are, you can use it as a Junkyard racer.
Mazda MPV:
The Toyota Previa is pretty priceless at the moment. A good instance is between 5-10 mille. Bizarre. Probably by the rightful name and reputation of Toyota. The Mazda MPV had almost the same qualities, but apparently no one knows that. For 3 mille you can just have a good copy to find out. Both diesel and petrol. This is the best choice you can make. The car is known as reliable and you have a pimple space.
Seat Alhambra
Typical case of a successful rebadge. A typical no-nonsense MPV from Seat. For a MPV there is it not so very wrong, and they are really quite spacious. The old TDI engines are perfect companions: economical, koppelsterk and reliable. Make sure that the air conditioning is doing it, because they want to sometimes give up the ghost. There is not really much sjeu, but are a good basis MPV’s.
Chrysler Grand Voyager
If you have decent comfort and space, this is perhaps the ideal option. The Grand Voyagers are perfect cruisers, and give the word space a new meaning. Go Yolo, and choose the 3.3 V6 with automatic transmission, finer than an aged VM Motori 2.5 with manual gearbox. It sees this type better than the successor, is remarkable enough.
Chevrolet Trans Sport:
My guilty pleasure. Ever such a thing been totally sold (fortunately at a dealer). Of within the path of a Boeing 737. Little rough finish but you have the reisgevoel to address. Just like the Chrysler an American MPV: so with a lot of comfort, leather, cup holders and good air conditioning. The 3.4 V6 is nice and smooth and that also applies to the vending machine. And the electric sliding doors are always cool.
Honda Shuttle:
For 3000 euros you can fine a sportier Honda Stream, but the Stream is just like a Opel Zafira, although a 7-seater, but also just a little on the tight side. The Honda Shuttle is a full-size MPVS, although the rear seats a bit of room in the pick up, so you’ll need a roof box lease. By default, you had to have 7 seats, the Alhambra is by the way not not the case. The 2.3 engine is indestructible, and that goes for the entire car. Many are never sold, so there is a limited supply.
SsangYong Rodius:
In addition to the Champions we have another car which the eyes defies. But for what you are planning meets the Korean perfectly to the requirements. The 2.7-litre five burner diesel is adequately powerful and the interior is spacious. European versions of the Rodius are supplied complete, clean and friendly. This car has character. Yes, it is an ugly thing. Fascinating. If you go with six-man a continent are going to visit, there are few better alternatives.
Renault Grand Espace:
Renault was one of the first and, perhaps, anyway, one of the best. For 3 mille you have a broad choice. A 4th generation is in the budget, but can be quite a thorny issue. What is often forgotten is that the Espace IV is a heavy. The Grand Espace III is a better choice. This was by Matra built and had a full polyester body. For 3 mille can be a relatively late occurrence in the nab. Advantage of a Grand Espace is that you really with 6 men and baggage on the path can, in a normal Espace is the somewhat undersized.
