Default Best car for >4000 Euro? Only car!

I know it's a broad question with lots of ifs maybes and so on, but I have to ask this.

So post away...what's your opinion...



p.s. The question is intended for Europe.

^ E30 is what you're speaking of, right? If yes it would be quite a nice E30 for 4000E

mr2....how reliable would you say this car is?

So if you don't have a car, and you need something you can rely on mr2s, 200sx and 20 year old bmws come to mind is that so?

^ This would be the most fun, no doubt.

I am currently in germany, and I am talking about a relatively reliable car. Something that you can trust and not having to pay too much for maintenance.


p.s. I think I found what I am looking for but I'm not saying anything before the deal is final. Wish me luck.

MX5's can be had for less then 4000€ and they're pretty reliable and fun

Maybe some kinda VW Golf if you want more space...

Guess what I'd suggest?
for 4000€ I'd be looking for a very very nice e30 no rust whatsoever, mint condition about 60-100.000km on the clock, serviced in BMW with original service book is a must(well still the price should be more around 3000€) ofcourse it will take some time to find this and you can buy a deadbeat e30 for 3000 too but if you'll take your time and search its possible to find a very good e30 8)

e36 will be for about 3-3,5€ in ok condition but prices for service and spareparts are still high.

e34 is also a good choice, slightly more expensive than e30 but you can find a good one, I'd probably wouldnt take any engine smaller than 2,5 for e34

e30 would be my choice

well almost any car that have been serviced on time and with quality spareparts/oils ets should be ok to buy
