Used Cars Under 250,000 Rubles: Practical Picks for Everyday Driving
Today, the demand for used cars remains strong. New vehicles and most lightly used options are often out of reach for many buyers, making a reliable used car a smart choice. The right vehicle in this price band can offer dependable performance with modest maintenance costs, especially when it comes to foreign makes known for longevity.
Renault Logan. This model works well as a first car or a work vehicle, such as for deliveries. In the 2008–2009 range, you can find the first generation in pre-styling or restyled bodies within this budget. Expect a solid equipment package, a chassis built to endure rough roads, and a dependable supply of components. The Logan tends to require only light maintenance and performs well on long trips, making it a sensible, everyday option.
Nissan Almera. The drivetrain tends to be robust, with the engine and transmission often reaching higher lifespans than the body itself. It is relatively inexpensive to maintain, comfortable to drive, and offers equipment levels that remain adequate for today. For this budget, the second-generation Almera from the early 2000s restyled era is a practical focus, balancing cost with reliability.
Ford Focus. Models from 2004–2005 in the first generation, particularly those with the restyled look, are worth considering. These cars are in solid demand on the secondary market, so finding a well-maintained example may require time and patience. When chosen wisely, the Focus delivers good handling and practical value for daily use.
Kia Rio. Within this price tier, the Rio is notable for safety, reliability, and cost efficiency. It is well suited for challenging roads and can serve as a durable, economical pick. A 2000–2005 model, representing the second generation in its pre-styling form, often strikes the right balance between price and capability.
