RE: I'm not powering down until I'm able to purchase my first car!

Dude you're only 19? F me I feel old.

And are you serious to say you can buy a second hand car with 5k? Poland really that cheap? And you live in Warsaw by the way that's like dead center of the country!

Sort:  

If you know what to look for, you can find a decent old car for $2-3K. Really I'll be looking for $3-4K and the rest will go for insurance/gas/any possible repairs. It's not going to be perfect, but depending on what you're looking for, an old Skoda or Alfa Romeo could do well. In America 10+ year old cars would fall apart (sorry, but that's the truth.. the minivan was an absolute death trap but then again I got it for like $900). If you REALLY wanted to you could probably get a bad Fiat or Daewoo for a couple hundred. It wouldn't run pretty, but it'd run. The only thing is in Poland a lot of the cars are modified (if they were in a crash, they do this a lot to more expensive cars brought over from Germany such as old Audis or VW's) so they seem much better on the outside than they really are. You either need to have a trained eye (which I don't) or bring someone along with you who knows what to look out for.

Interesting!
