The race for the cheapest popular cars has intensified, but one question remains: How long will Brazilians have to deal with such high prices to purchase a new vehicle?
Cheapest car in Brazil… I liked the joke. With R$75.000,00, depending on the location, you can buy a house and a Celtinha between 2010 and 2013 to avoid IPVA expenses or look for some investment, it's better than a car with no real value.
You are absolutely right, **** always prefer an ok car and have to get fucked (get fucked…)
For much less you can buy rich people's junk that is much more interesting, after all, a car that is ok and has been used is already used.
A chat between envious and lazy people.
Not really. Buying a used car is a headache, sometimes never-ending. The problem is that new cars have become absurd, even the so-called “popular” ones. Let’s keep praying and fixing the last new car I bought: an economical and reliable 0/0 Sandero.
I bought this mobi, the car is ****, weak, bad to drive, a real ****.
I was happy to sell well with only 3 thousand km, I bought a Honda HRV 2016 with 72 thousand km, a real gem, wonderful...so happy...
Buy a Kombi for 25 thousand. A car is a house in one. You still have 50 thousand left to spend on traveling with it.
I wouldn't trade my Etios 1.5 XS 2018 for any of the ZERO KM models presented in the list.
That's it, a car for a serious man who knows what he has and uses. I wouldn't trade it for these **** 0 km, congratulations. I have one with 200 thousand km, I wouldn't trade it for any of these 0 km cars presented.
I also love my Etios Cross! It has never let me down.
Until Brazil is governed by people as horrible and cruel as these **** **** and inhumane people who even want the population in misery and they live the life of kings and queens among the miserable who suffer to pay for their luxuries.
Paying extremely high and unnecessary abusive taxes that do not return to the people in any way.
