Rating of the best cars under 200,000 rubles 2021

To buy a car, money is saved for years. But there are situations when a car is needed urgently, but the necessary cash is not available. Is it possible to buy something worth 200 thousand rubles? The question is by no means rhetorical, since on the secondary market there are offers for every taste and budget, and if you wish, you can even find a decent car. Another thing is what condition it is in. In any case, you will have to solve the dilemma: take something fresher, but it will be a frankly budget car or a more or less well-known brand, but with high mileage. We will try to help you with your choice, without claiming absolute objectivity: it is, in principle, unattainable for the used car market, because everything here is individual.

Buying tips

If you are planning to purchase a used car from someone other than an authorized dealer, be prepared for potential risks, which the following tips will help you avoid:

Having looked at the model you like, do not rush to bid. Return home and carefully study all the available information about this car. This may change your plans;
in any case, you should go to the “bride” with an intelligent specialist who understands the topic. Even if you liked the car, your companion may discover hidden defects that will force you to abandon the purchase;
You should not limit yourself to a visual inspection of the car. There are many resources on the Internet that allow you to “punch” a car in many respects, including participation in an accident. Such a check does not guarantee anything, but if the car is listed as problematic, you can rest assured that it is so.

Now let’s move on directly to the rating, which takes into account the reputation of the brand, a specific model, and reviews from experts and car owners.

Pros and cons of car dealerships and unofficial dealers

Buying a used car from a car dealership has its pros and cons.

pros

Legally the purchase is clear. Everything is done legally, checks are also carried out regularly.
Check right in the salon. Everything is checked on site before the buyer picks up his vehicle. For repairs, it is also better to go where the car dealership sends you.
Quality service. No one in the showroom will force you to buy a car. On the contrary, they always meet the needs of the buyer, even the most fastidious one. If desired, they can provide a thickness gauge to check for coloration.
Guarantee. An authorized dealer will indeed honor all warranty conditions. So if the breakdown was not due to the user’s fault, the company will repair or even replace the car free of charge.

Minuses

You won't be able to travel by car. The reason is simple - reluctance to turn the odometer and lack of insurance.
You can't check everything yourself. Everything will be done by the salon, where, perhaps, they will not conduct a deep inspection.
The price in the showroom is higher. As a rule, cars in the showroom are more expensive. That’s why many people prefer Auto.ru to buy a car.

Official dealers have always been a guarantor of quality.
Now let's look at the pros and cons of buying from an unofficial dealer.

pros

Diversity. Small showrooms will have more budget cars, much more than official car dealers.
It's easier to lower the price. You can talk to the seller, and with a little luck you can “cut” the price, sometimes even significantly.
There is an opportunity to drive around and check everything you need. Freedom encourages you to buy a car.

Minuses

Defects after purchase. Their discovery is unlikely to guarantee compensation. Small companies, surprisingly, often don’t care about their own reputation.
Possible lack of checks. It is quite possible that they are selling you a non-working car, because there is often no repairman if the dealership skimps on everything. Most buyers care about the price, not the condition, so it’s quite possible to “get caught” on dead weight.
Employee culture. There are a lot of things you can expect at small car dealerships, including familiarity and an aggressive sales style.
Cars with damaged mileage, used in taxis, restored after an accident, “drowned” cars - all this is easy to find in a car dealership. Such cars are bought at a bargain price and, after restoration and polishing, are sold at exorbitant prices.

You can also buy a car from an unofficial dealer, but it looks a little risky

Nissan Maxima V

Technical characteristics: sedan, engine 3.0 l/200 l. s., transmission – automatic, maximum speed – 210 km/h.

Among used cars under 200,000 rubles, this Japanese sedan is very popular. The reason is the high reliability and safety of the fifth-generation car with the A33 index, which was originally conceived as a luxury sports sedan. Owning such a car in itself can tell about your ambitions, and it is really good. You can, for example, note the presence of four airbags, a spacious 520-liter trunk, and a special multi-link suspension design that increases the stability of the sedan. The presence of power steering will give the driver the necessary responsiveness, which is important when the car performs high-speed maneuvers.

Why do we advise taking a copy with a three-liter rather than a 3.5-liter or two-liter engine? Because this particular power unit has many victories to its credit, including in the Ward rating.

If you are lucky, and the previous owner treated his car with an automatic transmission and a powerful engine with due respect, then a Nissan Maxima even from 2001-2004 with a mileage of 200-250 thousand kilometers can “work” for you for more than one year.

Advantages	Flaws
Excellent dynamics	Poor sound insulation
Stability at high speeds	Poor maneuverability
Spacious salon	The quality of paintwork raises questions
Comfortable front seats	No steering wheel adjustments
Relatively low fuel consumption

Hyundai Getz

In fourth place I put the Korean B-class compact car. Why fourth and not second or first? Because the car is considered to be a woman's car, which means it has a small circle of buyers. However, over the past three months, through avtocod.ru, the Hyundai Getz has been checked five times more than the same Spark - 7,023 times versus 1,327.

When alive, this “Korean” will cost almost 200 thousand rubles in simple configurations. No problem, as statistics from avtocod.ru show, every fourth car is sold. Most have calculations for repair work, road accidents, incorrect mileage and unpaid fines. Single "Getz" are sold with restrictions, on lease and even on the wanted list.

Audi A4 II

Technical characteristics: sedan, 1.8 l/170 l engine. s., transmission – variator, maximum speed – 225 km/h.

The premium German D-class sedan according to the European classification was produced from 2000 to 2006 - despite the fact that production of the third generation started in 2004. This is direct evidence of the popularity of the model, which has sold over 12 million cars in total.

Although the size of the “four” never approached the more status-conscious A6, it became very similar to it, largely thanks to the efforts of the famous auto designer Peter Schreyer, who later accepted an offer to work at Kia. But if we are talking about size, it is worth noting that the car’s interior has become much more spacious and, of course, more comfortable.

But things didn’t work out with the suspension. The multi-link, which migrated to the B6 from the “five”, did not always stand the test of time even on ideal European autobahns, and even more so on domestic roads. So you will have to constantly change and repair something, and this, even for such an old model, is not a cheap pleasure. The car's electronics are also considered problematic, as they often malfunction or do not work entirely correctly.

However, the 2001-2004 Audi A4 is considered one of the most reliable used cars, especially for just 200 thousand rubles.

Advantages	Flaws
Powerful responsive engine	Weak suspension
Spacious salon	Unreliable electronics
Good sound insulation	Quite a “crude” variator
Good level of equipment	Expensive spare parts
High quality build

Opel Vectra B

Technical characteristics: sedan/station wagon/hatchback, 2.2 l/147 l engine. s., transmission – automatic, maximum speed – 208 km/h.

Opel has always been considered a “people's” German brand, and this meant that, other things being equal, the models of this automaker were cheaper than BMW, Mercedes or Audi. The restyled Vectra B model 1999-2001 is no exception. And if the Audi A4 for our budget was available only in a sedan body (although there was also a station wagon and even a roadster), then in relation to the Vectra, for 200 thousand rubles you can choose a car in any of three bodies.

Of course, the mileage will be long, and the figure of 300 thousand or more kilometers should not be surprising, and the appearance of the car, especially the sedan, will be outdated, but in general the Vectra B stands the test of time “excellently.”

Note that the 2.2-liter engine is not the most powerful, and in total the model has a fairly wide range of engines - five gasoline and one diesel. By the way, for its time the car was equipped at the level of its more expensive counterparts.

Advantages	Flaws
Excellent handling	The suspension is not suitable for Russian roads
Most engines are economical	Older engines develop oil burns
Spacious interior	Body quality raises questions
Large trunk, especially in a station wagon
Comfortable front seats

The best used cars under 200 thousand rubles

Volkswagen Golf;
Nissan Almera;

Nissan Maxima;
Mitsubishi Lancer;
Hyundai Accent;
BMW 3 and Audi A4.

There are other options, but we will consider foreign cars for 200,000 rubles, which are far from new, but will last for some time. We’ll talk about the domestic auto industry in another article.

Mitsubishi Lancer IX

Technical characteristics: sedan, 2.0 l/135 l engine. s., transmission – automatic, maximum speed – 188 km/h.

Even by today's standards, the appearance of this Japanese sedan does not evoke any negative emotions. Although sales of the model started in 2000, it reached Europe only in 2003, and two years later the ninth Lancer underwent restyling, and this particular version of a used car can be bought for 200,000 rubles.

If the top three are represented by models twenty years old, then here we may have at our disposal a sedan five years younger, which, of course, is a big plus.

True, the Mitsubishi Lancer is a car of a lower class (segment B according to the European classification), but Japanese quality and reliability make such an acquisition a profitable investment. The range of engines includes three power units (1.3/82, 1.6/98, 2.0/135), and the last option looks preferable, although most proposals are modifications with less powerful engines.

Advantages	Flaws
Excellent handling	Poor sound insulation
Most engines are economical	Not the best quality paintwork
Energy-intensive suspension	High cost of maintenance
Inexpensive spare parts
Good road holding

Volkswagen Passat B5

Technical characteristics: sedan/station wagon, 2.0 l/130 l engine. s., transmission – mechanical, maximum speed – 211 km/h.

The fifth generation underwent restyling in 2000, which turned out to be so significant that the car was given a hotel index - B5.5 (sometimes the designation B5+ is found).

The model closes the top 5 best used cars for 200 thousand rubles, but if this figure bothers you, then in vain: at one time, the Passat B5, together with the restyled version, sold more than 4 million cars.

Despite its venerable age, the car is still very popular. Much of the credit for this goes to the galvanized body, thanks to which the insides of the car are more likely to rot than the car itself. Let’s not forget about the build quality – twenty years ago it deserved the epithet “German”. Not like now...

A two-liter engine, in our opinion, is optimal, the 101-horsepower 1.6-liter unit is rather weak, especially for a station wagon, and the power of a four-liter engine will clearly be excessive given its gluttony.

Advantages	Flaws
High quality build	High cost of maintenance
Galvanized body	Very low ground clearance
Economical engines	Poor visibility
Comfortable spacious interior	Increased oil consumption
Good handling

Cheap and unpretentious Renault Logan cars

Renault Logan is the best used car under 200 thousand rubles, they are considered workhorses, they are often taken into taxis and killed there for a long time, so that it manages to recoup its value several times. This car, up to 200 thousand rubles, will be 6-8 years old with a solid mileage, but it will serve for some time.

Therefore, for those who are looking for a price-quality car, Renault Logan fully meets this criterion. There are different configurations: with a 1.4 and 1.6 liter engine. The engine resource is enough for 400-450,000 km. So, motors can be considered reliable with proper maintenance. The suspension here is simple and indestructible, as any taxi driver will confirm.

Mazda 323 BJ

Technical characteristics: hatchback/sedan, 2.0 l/130 l engine. s., transmission – automatic, maximum speed – 184 km/h.

All cars of this model were produced in Japan, so you don’t have to worry about the build quality of the model. As for the choice of which car to take, a sedan or a hatchback, they are externally identical in everything except the rear, and such a decision is not common.

Despite its age (most of the offers are from 2001-2003), the car is very decent, with a spacious interior and a front passenger seat that reclines forward, which can be used as a table. The range of engines starts with a frankly weak 1.3-liter engine, which is very rare; 1.5/1.6-liter power units are more common, but preference should be given to the most powerful.

Traditionally, there are no complaints about the “Japanese” suspension, and even long-term use in Russia is unlikely to affect its service life. So if you come across a Mazda 323 in good condition, take it, you won’t regret it.

Advantages	Flaws
Good dynamics	Poor sound insulation
Excellent handling	Small ground clearance
Indestructible chassis	Worthless standard car radio
Acceptable fuel consumption	Low body quality
Spacious salon

Why is it profitable to buy used cars?

The profitability of such a purchase can be justified by several points:

Low price. With proper and timely maintenance, a used car can remain in good condition and not reduce its performance, but at the same time it significantly loses value on the market. Therefore, buying used cars is quite profitable.
Possibility of bargaining. In showrooms, cars are sold at a fixed price, and in the case of used models, you can negotiate with sellers to reduce the cost, appealing to the presence of defects, scratches on the body and general wear and tear of the vehicle.
Big choice. Many of the used cars have already been removed from the assembly line and the chance to purchase rare and rare models that are not available in showrooms is increasing.

Ford Focus II

Technical characteristics: hatchback/sedan/station wagon, 1.8 l/125 l engine. s., transmission – automatic, maximum speed – 194 km/h.

Oddly enough, the main advantage of this model, which can be purchased for 200,000 rubles, is reliability. In this indicator, “Focus” surpassed both the older “Germans” and “Japanese”. As for the appearance, the sedan and station wagon are discreet and unimpressive, but the hatchback looks stylish. Most of the offers are models produced in 2006-2007, among which there are also cars with relatively low mileage, around 150-200 thousand kilometers.

The range of power units is the same for the second Ford Focus, regardless of body type. These are gasoline engines ranging from 1.4-liter to two-liter with power ranging from 80-146 horsepower, as well as a 1.8-liter 115-horsepower turbodiesel. Most often you can find cars with 1.6- and 1.8-liter gasoline engines. All units are famous for their reliability, all are quite economical.

The quality of the chassis deserves respect, the suspension is energy-intensive, with a smooth ride and excellent handling.

Advantages	Flaws
Reliable and economical motors	Paintwork is not of the best quality
Boxes with a large resource	Poor sound insulation
Excellent handling	Low ground clearance
Spacious interior	Small trunk with a narrow opening
Good dynamics
Great suspension

Honda Civic VI

Technical characteristics: hatchback/sedan/liftback, 1.6 l/125 l engine. s., transmission – automatic, maximum speed – 195 km/h.

It happens that the appearance of a car is deceiving: it looks attractive, but inside everything is dull. With the sixth generation Honda Civic, the opposite is true - the car is unprepossessing in appearance, but decent. Yes, this is a fairly old model, the maximum you can count on is a 2000 model. But in all other respects, this foreign car for 200 thousand rubles deserves your attention. She is one of the old-timers of the domestic market, and thanks to many advantages she remains quite in demand.

Affordable price with excellent build quality - a combination that is rare. Add to this a galvanized body and you can be sure that a rotten car means only one thing - it has been in a serious accident.

Advantages	Flaws
Economical engines	Poor sound insulation
Good dynamics and handling	Insufficient clearance
Spacious salon	Not the best suspension
Reliable boxes	High cost of maintenance
Spacious trunk

A car for 200,000 rubles: which one to choose

top cars up to 200,000 rubles
The most important thing is to take into account the following criteria:

Vehicle class – you should choose it based on the number of intended passengers (family members) and the purpose of the trip.
Drive – front, rear or all-wheel drive. Front-wheel drive is easier to control than all others. Such cars are difficult to skid. It is also characterized by increased directional stability. All-wheel drive gives the car owner the opportunity to drive even in difficult terrain. However, on slippery roads it can behave unpredictably. In this case, it is important to consider driving style.
Engine size – fuel consumption, acceleration dynamics, as well as the cost of transport tax depend on it. Vehicles with an engine capacity of 1 liter. (1000 cm3) are considered small cars. They are characterized by economical fuel consumption, but at the same time they take a long time to accelerate.
Gearbox - manual or automatic. The first option is rightfully recognized as the most reliable. An automatic transmission is easier to operate and does not require the driver to change gears. However, today it is quite difficult to find a decent car with an automatic transmission for up to 200 thousand.
Safety – not only the safety of the driver, but also of all road users depends on this criterion of the vehicle. It is recommended that the car be equipped with ABS, airbags, reinforced body elements, and pre-tensioned belts.
Additional systems - cruise control, heated seats, rain sensor, air conditioning. All this ensures comfort during the trip.
Presence of painted elements. Most often, they indicate that the car has been in an accident. If the parts are poorly processed, the paint will begin to swell and corrosion will form on the metal.

It is important to note that this budget is relatively small for the car market. Based on this, finding a car in perfect condition will be difficult, but possible.

Technical condition of the car

When buying a car up to 200,000 rubles, you should separately take into account its technical condition. Be sure to check the following elements of the car:

engine (there should be no extraneous noise);
shock absorbers;
hoses and valves;
the underbody (it should not be rotten);
Automatic transmission (if it “kicks”, then refuse the purchase, or get ready to spend a large sum of money on its repair).

Don't forget to inspect the body and interior for any defects. For them you have the opportunity to get a good discount if you purchase a car for 200,000 rubles from the owner.

Car history

The history of the car is also important. If she had many owners, therefore, she was often sold. The reason for this may be frequent breakdowns and a number of other shortcomings.

Today there are many programs that allow you to find out important moments in the history of a car up to 200 thousand rubles:

the number of repairs carried out under insurance;
whether the car is listed as collateral;
restrictions on registration actions;
the number of accidents and what damage was sustained.

Don't be shy about asking the seller a lot of questions. Ask all the points you are interested in: the reason for the sale, how many years it has been owned, etc. Buying a car up to 200,000 without analyzing the history is the most serious and common mistake.

Nissan Almera II

Technical characteristics: sedan/hatchback, 1.8 l/116 l engine. s., transmission – automatic, maximum speed – 181 km/h.

“People's” Japanese - this is how Almera is often called, the second generation of which was produced from 1999 to 2006, having undergone a restyling in 2003.

The 1.8-liter engine is top-end, there is also an 86-horsepower 1.5-liter engine, but it is rather weak for a golf-class car. Both the sedan and the hatchback (there are three-door and five-door modifications) look fresh, despite their advanced age. A feature of the second Nissan Almera can be called tolerance to negative temperatures, although the car also tolerates heat well, as well as acceptable ground clearance.

Advantages	Flaws
Economical and responsive engines	Poor sound insulation
Pleasant exterior	Suspension is not of the best quality
Starts well in cold weather	The quality of finishing is “C”
Good handling	Increased oil consumption
Relatively low maintenance costs

Hyundai Accent II

Technical characteristics: sedan, 1.6 l/105 l engine. p., transmission – automatic, maximum speed – 180 km/h.

In Korea, the model was produced from 1999 to 2005, but in Russia and India, the Accent turned out to be a long-liver, leaving the assembly line until 2012/2013, respectively. It is believed that the Korean assembly is of higher quality, but it is very difficult to find such a car. However, the car assembled at Tagaz is famous for its reliability. He closes our ranking of the best used cars under 200,000 rubles.

If you want, you can easily find a car made in 2011, and this is the youngest model in our top 10. At the same time, you will receive a well-equipped sedan, with air conditioning, power steering and full power accessories.

Advantages	Flaws
Good dynamics	Small ground clearance
Low fuel consumption	Poor sound insulation
Affordable cost of service	The stock audio system sucks
Good handling	The quality of finishing is clearly poor
