5 highly recommended second-hand city cars to buy

For more than a year, the automobile industry has been going through a delicate moment, due, among other things, to the semiconductor crisis. For this reason, the second-hand market is gaining more followers. Next, we show you five highly recommended second-hand city cars to buy.

The current shortage of microchips is causing stoppages in the production of many plants from different manufacturers and, consequently, delays in the deliveries of new vehicles.

This has caused many potential buyers to turn to the second-hand market, whose sales have increased in recent months. The reasons are obvious: the delivery is immediate and the price is clearly lower. However, the increase in demand has caused a rise in the price of second-hand cars.

We have made a selection of five second-hand cars for the city that we think are highly recommended to buy. In general, they are vehicles that you can find at an interesting price, cheap to maintain and perfect for day-to-day use in the city.

Audi A1

We start with the Audi A1, the only premium model in the B segment, whose first generation hit the market at the beginning of the last decade and was a complete success. This car combines the luxury and technology of Audi with a compact format, ideal for driving around the city with agility.

In the second-hand market you can find options with three and five-door bodywork and a wide range of diesel and gasoline engines. Depending on the version and mileage, you can find an A1 for a price between 9,000 and 18,000 euros.

Seat Ibiza

The Seat Ibiza is the quintessential utility vehicle in Spain and, currently, there are very interesting versions on the second-hand market, especially the previous generation, with prices ranging between 8,000 and 14,000 euros.

The Ibiza stands out for offering good habitability and a fairly capable trunk for its size, just 4 meters long. In addition, depending on the version, it can include a very complete equipment in terms of connectivity.

hyundai i10

If you are looking for a small and practical car for the city, the Hyundai i10 is a highly recommended option. Although the current model has a more striking design, the previous generation, with its minivan appearance, offers good interior space and a good boot, as well as excellent visibility.

You can find gasoline versions with reliable gasoline engines and low kilometers for around 9,000 or 10,000 euros.

Toyota Yaris

If what you want is a vehicle for the city that consumes little, the Toyota Yaris is perfect, thanks to its hybrid system. With the arrival of the new model, you can find interesting prices for approximately 12,000 to 16,000 euros.

Although it is the previous generation Yaris, it is equipped with various driving aid systems and connectivity technology. Its hybrid engine works very well, is reliable, requires little maintenance and achieves very low consumption in the city. In addition, it sports the ECO label of the DGT.

fiat panda

We end up with a model that often goes unnoticed, since it has been on the market for a long time and has become outdated compared to other alternatives. But the Fiat Panda is an option to consider if you are looking for a cheap second-hand car for the city.

It is not the most equipped car, nor the most technological, nor the fastest, but it has very reliable mechanics, it is resistant and it moves with agility through urban centers. You can find one for around 10,000 euros on average, although there are also cheaper options. Even for a little more money, you can opt for a Panda 4×4 if you usually go off the asphalt.
