a lot of questions about a road trip
so yeah, I'm doing a road trip with some mates of mine, and we plan on taking this route on a "that car program" fashion. But the thing is, my Japanese brain it's not used to the prices and economy of Europe when it comes to used cars and I would like to ask some questions if I'm allowed to.
I'll list them here to make it easier in case anyone can help me(thank you beforehand, I know it's quite a lot).
as I said, we want to do something Top Gear-like, so, we don't want something brand new but we don't want a junk fire, but something that can get some hits(because we'll do challenges) but keep working and if would have some failure, it would be fixable(we are used to work on cars as I do this for hobby for quite some time now) so I would like to know what price would I pay to have something that meets these demands, and if there is something else I should consider or you have questions, please do say it.
Don't worry about the prices or the country we can acquire it, we don't have any problems on that, but we want to do something challenging even if it means losing everything and having to go home without reaching the destination, so it needs to be in that range of "not brand new, but not completely beat up too"
we are considering the body types of Sedan, hatchback, sport, wagon, roadster and cabriolet, so we would like some opinions on that.
the years we are considering it's basically everything between 2000 and 2010, we may take it some years before or after, so, we would like to hear you guys thought on that too!
what are the countries with the best variety for this? Don't need to be in general of all body types or years, you can just say something like "England is good for cabriolets from 2002" or something.
and last of all, what are the best sites for this? I know there is some of them but I would prefer to know from you guys than from what Google recommended me haha.
if you cannot respond to all those questions, it's completely ok, you can respond to what you can and if you just want to ask questions or give opinions, please do it, and if you're willing to help, you are much much appreciated.
Thanks to everyone, it may take a year or two, but we'll make it :)
