Because every time I check on articles apparently “poor” people according to them are guys with 10000 euro ready to spend like that.
Also the apps for car buying seem broken, they only offer you totaled cars or cars that need serious work at low budgets.
How much do you know about mechanic work?
You’re likely to pick up something that needs a little work the owner isn’t willing to put into it for cheaper.
I picked up a 1996 Chevy Cavalier for $400 2 years ago because it needed ball joints, wheel bearings, and struts. It was a weekend of work and cost me an extra ~$500 or so but I’ve been driving it for two years and it cost me total of $900 to get on the road.
But I also did the work myself which saved a bunch of money.
Nothing and I don’t want to do it.
