I'd say at over 700k, if they run well and SOUND healthy, don't leak and shit, you could probably go for it.
at that price range you can't do a lot wrong anyway.

I don't think many cars age faster than these pieces, although most of them are leading pretty easy lives as 2nd cars.

Every 2nd one you see driving past has a lose exhaust, neigbour told me he is on his 3rd exhaust in 80k km lol

>tfw my '98 shitbox impreza still has it's original exhaust, although patched up

Still amazing how toyota was ok with putting their badge on these shitboxes as well

>>15099871

Looks like taxis. Remember, you can get a bare-bones BMW or Merc over there with a small diesel and few, if any amenities. They aren't necessarily luxury cars over there.

1km in city = 5-10km on the autobahn, depending on the driver's gender

What's the catch?

>>15100017
No catch, in Europe used cars are incredibly cheap. I picked up a Saab 9-5 Aero for £800 last year, 92,000 miles, every option you could order (which all worked) and full service history.

I later sold it to my dad for £700, to use that money to buy a MG ZS with 52,000 miles and a full service history.

You can't compare American with European mileage though.

An European car usually goes through hell in European traffic.

>tons of traffic jams
>lots of shitty streets
>high speed autobahn whipping
>shitloads of turns
>usually a lot more city traffic miles than highway miles

100k European miles could easily mean approximately 400k American miles in terms of punishment.

>>15100028
Like why is it so cheap, if insurance out the ass or are they hard to register?

Our shitboxes aren't in that good of condition for that price

>>15100038
you pay several times more in gas in Yurop compared to buying gas in Burgerland but otherwise Twingos are absurdly cheap to buy, maintain and run.

>>15100038
Insurance is pretty similar to American levels, tax can be massive depending on the vehicle. The Saab was £225/year since it was a pre-2001 car, but new car can be as much as £490/year. Petrol is 3-6x as expensive in America as well, so MPG is a huge concern. The saab barely scraped 25 most days for example, which resulted in huge fuel costs for me and the change to the more efficient MG

That said, I'm trying to buy an RX-8 that's got incredibly high tax, insurance and terrible MPG, purely because muh rotary.

>>15100048
Damn dude you could get a functional car for like 270 usd. Like with fuel injection. Like know I get why twinge threads are such a thing. Does the twinge have a negative stigma?

>>15100072
I can get an RX8 for £800, S2Ks start at £3500 for shit ones, £4000 for good ones. We didn't even get the G35 here.

used cars are cheaer generally, even in countries where tax and insurance are reasonable (eg germoney)

and used cars with higher running costs than a small hatchback are cheap as fuck, because there isn't much of a market for those here.

>basically 2000$ us shitbox = 500$ euro shitbox.
the euro shitbox will be smaller, but depending how long ago it passed the bi-annual inspection it'll run and, steer and brake alright

multipla kinda related

>>15100075
Dude what the fuck yurop car prices are insanely cheap. That being said I can get a 400 HP shitboxes for like 5k here if I put a little work in.

Why don't euros ever buy these cool cars if they cost nothing?

>>15100037

I find European roads to be wide smooth and straight.

But then again I live in the third world and by the time a car reaches 30,000 km everything on it is broken and you are searching for donor axles while you deal with death wobble and a loud howling on 3 out of 4 wheels. Misfire on 3rd cylinder? No problem !Nzimbu I got 3 more

>>15100080
>the euro shitbox will be smaller
But that also accompanies the smaller European cities better.

I would never drive any of our local cars in Germany. It would be too cumbersome.

>>15100064
>Does the twinge have a negative stigma
well there's not a lot middle ground.

either people love them like literal pets or they think you're the poorest of all poorfaggots.

but also tons of students drive them. you see them a lot around universities.

>>15100093

Cost of car = 800
Cost of insurance = 4000
Cost of rental living box = 1200
Yearly wages = 18000

>>15100093
Petrol costs. Right now in my shitty little Scottish town, a liter of 95 octane (same as 91 American, different maths) is £1.12, or $1.16. This translates up to £4.20 ($4.38) a gallon, which is cheaper than it used to be. When I started driving in the late 2000s, fuel was as much as £1.40/L at times

>>15100121
I fucked the maths there, £1.12 is $1.61, not $1.16, so it's actually $6.09/G

How the fuck did they manage to get the MV6 that far? Must have gone through like, well, 850k of those engines.

>>15100331
isn't the mv6 actually more reliable than all those inline4s the usual Omegas had?

when you see high mileage Omegas, they usually have the V6 engine.

>>15099694
>425000 km in a 550i

He paid like 10 times the value of the car in gasoline lol

>>15100338
lol no. I mean, it might be more reliable than the 4-cylinder opel ecotecs which suck ass, but the opel v6 is an unreliable heap of shit

>>15100331
>>15100338
MV6 is a trim tier, the highest of the three, if I remember correctly. Basically means more shit to break.

The V6 might be better than the 4 pots, but that doesn't really mean worth shit.
The I6 engines in the old omegas were okay though.

>>15100356
More like a single time, but it's still an insane amount in ten years. My annual fuel costs don't even break four digits.

>>15099499
Because if it can do 700,000 km, it can do another 700,000

>>15100038
In the UK at least, insurance is super expensive if you are under 25 compared to other countries, but as you get older it gets to US levels

As for registering, it's really easy in the UK.

>>15100455
there are almost no twingos in the UK tho

>>15100457
because not everyone wants a 20 year old city car

fuck, the cost of the ferry from Calais to Dover is probably like half the price of the car, and I think it's like £200 in total to register an imported car here so it has to be worth the money

I think this is why a lot of Americans don't have a good grasp of which cars are quality. The driving conditions here (from Hungary, living in California) are incredibly forgiving and easy on cars. I have a friend with a camaro, and its fun, but the thing struggles just driving up and down the malibu toe-gay, it would fucking die in my country.

Same for Japanese cars. I love them, but the materials they're made out of can't compare to German cars. A Toyota of Lexus will rust away right before your eyes while an old merc trucks on just fine.

Plenty of Japanese cars are on my dream car list, but I will always daily a German car in Europe. Thankfully I'm in California right now and I can have a little fun. Fucking nothing rusts here.

I heard doctors in the UK start at around $33k/yr, is this true? You can easily make twice that driving a truck in the US.

>>15100315
In the US $1000 is kind of bottom line for something that's still driveable. If you can put plates on it and start driving it today, its worth at least 1000 bux to somebody.

Not a 'shitbox' by any measure per se, but this is my uncle's '98 E320 with 500k KM near Biysk in Russia (Siberia). He lives in a small village and commutes in to town every morning on some of the worst roads imaginable. I'd basically put a 3x multiplier on that mileage to give a more fair representation of the wear and tear that vehicles see out there. An ungodly number of previous owners, interior/exterior still looks good (some respraying done I'm sure). I'd expect it to be a total nightmare ownership experience but he says the suspension is very sturdy and handles the roads as well as the older Toyotas that rule the roost over there. A smattering of electrical issues that keeps him busy, but overall really not that bad. The W210 was the last Benz without a billion "modules" and CANBUS stuff IIRC.

>>15100432

>>15108554
>The W210 was the last Benz without a billion "modules" and CANBUS stuff IIRC.
not sure about that. I rather think that was the W124 without the tons of computer crap.

the W210 was already deep as fuck in the cost cutting dilemma.

>>15108633

It's all relative, This uncle of mine has owned a W202, W210, and W211 (maybe others). He said the gap between the W210 and W211 in terms of complexity is vast. He can wrench on a W210 no problem in a shade-tree fashion, the W211 was simply unsustainable to own in his locale. W124s have their own set of issues, I'd make the argument that the W210 has fewer weak spots overall, aside from the whole poor rust-proofing fiasco.

>Why don't euros ever buy these cool cars if they cost nothing?

Cost of maintenance is way more than financing a newer car.
Breakdown recovery won't touch cars older than 15 years on a standard policy, and charge based on a car's reliability.
Older cars are more expensive to insure, because there's a chance they'll just shit themselves at highway speeds and cause an accident, or understeer into a bridge.

Everyone drives diesel cars here pretty much, thanks to tax and the obsession with mpg. Realistically, the tax is fairly insignificant (a few hundred here and there) and the fuel economy is offset by petrol cars being cheaper.

Never understood the obsession with engine size, but I suppose it is worth nothing that most people drive hatchbacks, think Ford Focus / Fiesta etc and they tend to come with smaller engines. Bigger stuff like Mondeos (similar to the Fusion over there I believe) used to come with a V6 but they are all diesels or small capacity turbos now.

Even then, I used to have a 2.0 petrol Mondeo and it was just fine, did 40 odd mpg and could carry 5 people + luggage in comfort and didn't feel lacking for normal driving. Doesn't help that fuel is reasonably expensive here so there isn't any real demand or purpose for a 5.7 V8 in a normal car for normal driving.

It'd make a he'll of a lemons car if the wheelbase is enough

9k NZ dollarydoos is probably something like 6k in american

I don't get this unless you love it and you don't want it to be reduced to a cube. In Spain some junkyards pay you 250€ for the car.

Diesels are worse for the environment than petrols are.

the mileage is quite low tho. if maintained they usually go beyond 300k km

STS/SLS were 40-50 grand brand new

now 95% of them have been trashed or niggified and go for around 4-5k

>landbarge that huge
>FWD

Astonishing achievement that they were actually able to accelerate at all

>>15127774
>fwd
why

>>15127879
that's what I wondered, too.

that car isn't either aimed to be ecological, nor is it because of space because there's enough room in such a fuck huge car to get a RWD drivetrain done.

there's literally no reason for it besides laughable cost cutting and this was probably the reason.

They had to put in a 275hp transverse V8 to make up for it

This shit is fucking idiotic.
They didn't make any use of the FWD shit.

Why wasting so much space with the middle tunnel when there's no shaft under it?

That's funny because my stepdad owns a limousine business here in the states. Buys new 740Li's and sells them at 400-500k miles to a company that takes them overseas to Europe and China to resell. Pretty much an unstated fact that miles get taken off the clock at some point in that transaction. The wear and tear from driving 500k mostly highway miles with business executives in suits in the back is going to be significantly less than the same distance in a european city so I imagine it's not too hard to pass them off.

400€ monthly is "barely surviving" kind of money in Poland and Czech rep./Slovakia.

I don't know man. Might need some work to get it to pass the insepction again.

I'd grab it (fucking gotha though, of all places), buy a crashed R19 16v or clio 16v/williams, transfer all the oily bits over and go hunt E36s

How the fuck

>>15130459
Those things are the reason everyone believes old Merc diesels run forever.

Germans are also very very strict with their maintenance, so I'm sure that helps.

Looks like the same shit we get in Queensland.
