Looking for a used car under €45,000? We currently have 18,638 listings on the site. This budget gives access to premium models and well-equipped versions from the major brands.
This bracket gives access to the best-equipped versions of the major makes and to very recent premium models.
The market is appreciably narrower than at lower levels, and the choice turns less on the model than on the precise specification and history of the individual car.
Of the 15 used Citroen Nemo listed right now: 93% are diesel. 93% have manual transmission. Half are priced under €5,000.
Listings come from both private sellers and dealers, with the mileage, year and engine shown on each one, so you can easily find a car that matches your budget and your needs. Every listing shows the year, engine, power, mileage, transmission and price, along with where the vehicle is and whether the seller is a private individual or a dealer. From there you can narrow the selection further, or widen it to the neighbouring categories below.
Large premium SUVs, executive saloons, performance versions of mainstream ranges and high-end electric cars.
Powerful engines, four-wheel drive common, full comfort equipment and the most complete driver assistance packages.
Mileage is low and the cars often come from identifiable first ownership.
On this segment the options list weighs more than the model year. Premium audio, adaptive suspension, specific upholstery, assistance packs: each was worth thousands new.
Two examples of the same model, same age and same mileage, can legitimately sit €5,000 apart for that reason alone.
Take the time to read the full equipment sheet. It is the main basis for comparing adverts at this level.
The number of cars available is limited, which reduces negotiating room and lengthens the search if you want a particular specification.
At resale that same scarcity works for you, provided the car has stayed standard and well documented: buyers in this segment know what they are looking for.
Undeclared modifications – exhaust, mapping, suspension – hurt value badly and can cause problems with insurance and at inspection.
Full network service history and remaining warranty, both of considerable value here.
The cost of specific consumables: large tyres, high-performance brakes, servicing of adaptive suspension.
The absence of structural repair, confirmed by careful inspection of panel gaps and paint shades.
A buyer who wants a particular specification and accepts a narrow market and a longer search to get it.
Budget alone does not decide it. Cross it with the body type your use calls for, the engine your mileage justifies and the gearbox you prefer.
