Old domestic cars and budget, reliable foreign cars are best suited for Russian students with little driving experience. Students from higher educational institutions in Russia talked about this topic and shared their experience in operating Hyundai Accent and VAZ-2113, reports 74.ru.
Ilya, the owner of the 2007 Hyundai Accent, said that he bought the car three years ago for 140 thousand rubles, now it costs about 350 thousand rubles on the secondary market. As the young man said, this car “never breaks down” and is “an incredibly reliable car.” If malfunctions occur, repairs are inexpensive. So for three years he spent about 20 thousand rubles on replacing the starter, generator and fuel pump.
“Half of the pieces there are priced as “nine” pieces, and the second half are priced as “nine” pieces. I bought good analogues, not originals,” said Ilya.
Another student, Evgeniy, who bought a 2008 VAZ-2113 for 100 thousand rubles in April this year, advised him to take a closer look at the domestic automobile industry.
“His body was in bad shape, the gearbox was loose, he had bad grenades, the suspension was complete garbage. But all the “bones” are intact – the power structure and engine are ideal. I invested three thousand rubles immediately after the purchase. In such a car costing 100 thousand, the cooling system will definitely fail. Domestic models have endless problems in this regard. Here you need to change the pipes and change the antifreeze. Then let’s move on to the little things: light bulbs and things like that,” Evgeniy explained.
