What car can you buy today for a million rubles? Niva in the basic version, condo UAZ Hunter, unpretentious Grant? And if you want something more and you decide to aim for a premium, albeit with some serious mileage… Is it realistic to take a valuable one? Free, says Alexander Vinogradov, based on the results of monitoring the current used car market.
He warns, however: An initially expensive car always asks more of you than a state employee. And the older she is, the higher the demands. And you can keep these requirements within reasonable limits if you choose a reliable model in the right modification.
Such as the Mercedes-Benz GLK in the 220 CDI version, which is good in terms of fuel consumption, loads, dynamics and of course reliability. For the amount stated in the title, you own a car from 2010-2011. With all premium, most concerns will be similar to those of state employees.
Replacement Needed:
- water pump – every 100 thousand km;
- front shock absorbers and front anti-roll bars – every 100 thousand km;
- brake discs – every 120-130,000 km;
- oil in the 7G-Tronic machine – every 60 thousand km.
Of the specific moments when choosing a car:
- 7G-Tronic requires accurate diagnostics. After 100 thousand km, the sign is often burned out.
- It is necessary to pay attention to the condition of the fuel system – piezo injectors are sensitive to fuel quality.
And of course you get a car with a spectacular appearance. By the way, if the GLK did not have serious accidents, then you do not have to worry about its appearance – the quality of the coloring is high. And about the interior you can say this: there are more cheap materials in Mercedes, but the build quality is still high.
Yes, the Mercedes-Benz GLK is an excellent car, but not unique in the “premium per million” context – here are three more chic options!
