I don't get your comment. You can have a decent car new at 400€/month and I still think that's ridiculously high.

Used cars make so much more sense when you value rational arguments. (Or bikes, public transportation, feet).

I don't think you can have a large family wagon for €400, at least in my country (Poland)

Buying a new car is a poor financial decision in general, considering things like depreciation or extreme leasing costs.

So yeah, I agree, buying a used car is the way to go, but getting one also gets much much more difficult the older and cheaper you want it to be.

How much is the Dacia Jogger in Poland? I can see they are under 400€/month here in France.
