On the used car market are often found interesting examples of "tasty" price. Usually the purchase of such a machine - a real joy for the driver, but only until the first failure. Maintenance and repair of some models is worth a lot of resources, more of them - later in this review specifically for Novate.ru site readers.
1. Volkswagen Phaeton (2002-2016 biennium).
In 2002, the German company Volkswagen has released a new car class, which was to become a serious competitor to Mercedes-Benz S-klasse, BMW 7-series, Audi A8, Lexus LS. For Volkswagen Phaeton unpretentious exterior hides a very serious technical stuffing. In fact, it was a Bentley Continental GT in the back, painfully reminiscent of the Passat.
But the car's debut proved to be unsuccessful. The car suffered many "childhood diseases", expiring of its complex structure. A too strong "similarity" in the Passat and "non-elite" brand name have led to low sales.
As a result, currently used Volkswagen Phaeton can take, ranging from 600 000 rubles. But a driver who knows how to count, it is unlikely to bite on a low price tag, and all because the prices of spare parts is very high. So, a lot of problems delivering air suspension. Replacing one gasspring will cost 110 000 rubles (there are only four). Also often fails valve control unit (24 000 rubles). In addition, the driver should be aware that the service of the vehicle does not take on any HUNDRED.
2. Audi A8 D3 (2002-2009 biennium).
Audi A8 - one more representative sedan comes from Germany, which attracts an affordable price to the "secondary housing." The main feature of this machine is the extensive use of aluminum in construction. The body of the "winged metal" is very light, thus saving fuel and, most importantly, he has excellent resist corrosion. Why, then, the Audi A8 D3 generation can already buy from 550 000 rubles?
Firstly, because the aluminum is still corrode over time. When this paint swells and reduces the thickness of body elements. A case of accident repair aluminum body is worth many times more expensive than the usual steel. And secondly, comfortable ride in the Audi A8 achieved thanks to the air suspension. In our conditions, it often fails and repair it - a complete ruin. Replacing all pnevmostoek worth almost as much as the whole machine.
Furthermore, as any premium car, Audi A8 boasts the presence of many options and features that enhance the comfort of the driver and passenger. According eventually complex electronics begins to fail. With the active use of the machine can annually be two or three breakdowns.
3. Mercedes-Benz A-Klasse W168 (1997-2004 biennium).
Do not think that only large luxury sedans could be the ruin of their respective owners. It can even subcompact hatchbacks, for example, Mercedes-Benz A-Klasse. In the secondary market the first generation of the car (body W168, 1997-2004 model year) 0000 cost about 200 rubles, but it's deceptive cheapness. Service machines in the workshop will be taken as per the E-Klasse, and all because the car is very small and all units are densely arranged in the engine compartment. Therefore, access to individual elements sometimes oh how difficult.
And the owners of the A-Klasse often complain about the automatic transmission. Sophisticated transmission constantly "act up", and in case of a breakdown the driver will have to pay 60-80 thousand rubles.
4. Range Rover II (1994-2002 biennium).
I do not stand aside, and our review of this class of cars as SUVs. Now for only 300 thousand rubles, you can take the Range Rover second-generation release of the year 1994-2002. About this car in the 1990s, many could only dream of, but now the dream has become quite affordable. Only snag is that the Range Rover, like all British cars, breaking constantly, ranging from simple buttons and finishing with individual units and parts are all pretty Shes. In addition, staff stations and rob the owner of "range" in full.
5. Mercedes-Benz S-Klasse W220 (1998-2005 biennium).
According to the author Novate.ru site, Mercedes-Benz S-Klasse is one of the most luxurious and comfortable car, which can be found on the roads of Russia. A car body W220, which is already 15-20 years old, you can even buy cheaply in the secondary market. The price tag starts from 200 rubles per car late 90s and ends at around 2 million copies of the last years of release.
But one should not be conducted in the cheaper options. S-Klasse W220 in the body - it is a very complicated machine, on the service which can be ruined. As the competition (Audi A8 and Volkswagen Phaeton), because of the bad roads quickly breaks down air suspension. A replacement compressor and pneumatic cylinders - very expensive.
Everyone who picks up a car, also want to go through the review Top 5 most "gluttonous" cars.
