Benz 1.11 million won, Audi 1.5 million won ... A used car cheaper than an iPhone, is it good as a first car? [세상만車]

Kim Jin-ho (pseudonym, 27), who got a job this year, holds a “closet license”. I got my license when I was in college, but I have little driving experience. He gave up trying to buy a new car for a weekend trip he had previously abstained from due to the COVID-19 outbreak. I had to wait over a year for delivery.

Instead, I bought a cheap used car and changed my mind about using it for a weekend trip for a year or two. Instead of using expensive installments to buy a new car at a later date, it’s reducing the purchase burden while paying in savings and getting used to driving.

If you add practicality and safety specifications to eliminate the shortcomings of a compact car that is small, unstable and uncomfortable, it takes more than 15 million won.

You can’t buy a car just because it’s cheaper than the iPhone 14 (1.25 to 2.5 million won). Of course, there are no cheap and good cars. Instead, there are cars with a high price-quality ratio (value for money).

Cars with less than 2 million won are mainly bought for inexperienced drivers to use 6 months to 1 year for driving tests before buying a better car. When you are a novice driver, it is good to have a car that has a small weight even if it is scratched or crushed.

Because the price is low, the burden is small, and the taxes and auto insurance premium are low. If you don’t buy your vehicle damage insurance, you can save around 40% of the insurance premium.

However, as it was shipped over 10 years ago, the exterior is not clean and has a relatively large number of accidents. Since the profit is small, the dealer who is the seller sometimes sells the used car without marketing it, for example by removing scratches or polishing it.
