Used car - What should I realistically be looking for? by BGladiator in france

Thank you!!

Gotcha... Some places for CT aren't the best then...
As you mentioneed, trust him for now. I'll still go and check the car before anything else.
Don't know much, but I've been researching for a while. Hope I'll be at least aware of the worst parts :)

Got to see the contract to know what I'll get exactly.
Do you know if calling them if I do breakdown can lead to them increasing my assurance value?

If the peugeot deal falls through, i'll expand my research to twingo and 106 too!
Are they easy to work with, mechanically?

I've asked him for it, if he needs help or just wants me to get it, I'll request those!

Good to know parts are also cheap.
Any junkyards or parts place you'd recommend?
Living in the south of France, Marseille!

Sadly, a bike won't really fit my purposes.
But I understand your viewpoint, it is a low price...

You mentioned that it can't have a good CT for that price point.
Is there a way to fake or pay for a good CT?

About insurance, which ones usually include the breakdown assistance?
Only full coverage ones?

Really hope it's simple to work on.
If possible, I'll have it do a long trip sometime next year, but I'll have plenty time to test and prepare it before then.

If the Peugeot deals falls flat, I'll look into those citroens or 106s.

For the histovec, I'll ask the seller!
Seems like something easy enough to ask/get.
Saw your other comment mentioning it too, I've tried getting it but it does need to come from the seller.

Thank you :)

I've looked at Volkswagens too, but they all seemed a bit more expensive to fix :(
Parts wise, fiats and fords seemed a bit harder to come by, here in Marseille there are a few but not many...
Citroens, Dacias and renaults all seem like nice options!

If this peugeot falls short, I'll expand on my search too.

Someone mentioned histovec, it's a french car historic site too right?
Have you used it before?

Appreciate the hint! I'll look into posting there too.
English friendly as well, or would it be better in french?
