I bought the Mazda 323 Automatic from 1992 in 2017 for a failty good price. It was an old car with character...no Airbags, no ABS.. just a 88PS car with Automatic. Not very efficient, but nice.
Now the inspection came and it did not pass. I would have to invest several hundred euros to make it ok again. Since I still own my 20 year old Cougar and the 36 year old Trabant I would rather invest that money into those cars. So I decided to sell the Mazda and get a new, economic car.
I found a 2019 Citroen C3 which was used by the car dealer as a rental car. Low milage, all kinds of feature installed (AC, 7" Touch screen with Mirrorlink / Android Auto etc.)
My dealter Schönborn in Plattenhardt made a good deal and I sold my Mazda and got the Citroen. Was a very good deal so far. New Summer tires and almost new set of winter tires.
Lets see how they years will go...
