That doesn't mean, however, that you have to give up on buying a new one altogether. Car&More comes to the rescue. With us you'll not only find models at an attractive price, but also get financing on convenient terms. Meet 9 cheap used cars that deserve special attention!

Second-hand cars, why are they worth it?

Why is buying a used passenger car so worthwhile? It's common knowledge that the biggest drop in value happens in the early period of use. According to research, the most popular new cars lose as much as 46.5% of their value during the first 3 years of use*. By choosing a cheap second-hand car, you can skip the most painful drop in the vehicle's price. Combined with buying in instalments, this makes for an exceptionally advantageous option.

1. Toyota Corolla: the world leader among budget cars

Few cheap cars can boast the popularity of the Toyota Corolla. According to PZPM reports from recent months, it is the most frequently registered model among private customers.* On Car&More you'll find the cheapest models from 2022 already in the used-car range of up to 70,000 PLN. You can choose between different trim levels, such as Comfort, Active or Sport.

Although the Toyota Corolla also comes with petrol and diesel engines, drivers most often go for the 1.8-litre hybrid drive. It boasts excellent performance and low failure rates. Among used cars up to 70,000 it's a real gem you shouldn't miss.

2. Volkswagen Golf: a classic model of a car under 70,000
