> buy Dacia because they can't afford anything else

In much of Eastern Europe most people would just rather buy a beat up BMW or even a relatively decent one for 10-15k.

To be fair I kind of feel the same. Getting a 2-3 old car seems like a better option than a brand new Dacia



2-3 year old BMW for 10-15k? 116d with chains rattling.

Let's be real here, new Dacias are bought by people who care about not visiting service every other month and total cost of ownership.


No, not BMW. You’d have to go 5+ years at very least.

My point was that in a lot of places people who can’t afford a new car other than Dacia would still rather buy an older car from a more prestigious brand due to “reasons”.


Wouldn't old BMW kill you on maintenance and other costs of ownership compared to cheaper cars?

For about 15 years I kept having a hyundai of one sort of another while my friend has Audis. Our regular planned maintenance and our repairs were about 500% different. Anecdata n=1 of course.
