Looking for a used car under €40,000? We currently have 18,452 listings on the site. At this price point, vehicles are generally recent, well equipped and low mileage.
Cars in this bracket are generally one to three years old, lightly used, richly equipped and often still under manufacturer warranty.
The gap with a new car narrows, which makes comparing the two genuinely worthwhile for the first time.
Of the 37 used Opel Mokka listed right now: 51% are petrol. 76% have manual transmission. Half are priced under €15,000.
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.
Premium SUVs, high-end saloons, large estates and long-range electric cars.
Higher trims and options that were expensive new are widely represented, often for a modest premium over a base trim of the same model.
Mileage is low, frequently under 30,000 km.
The comparison rests on three things: the depreciation the first owner has already absorbed, the warranty remaining, and whatever terms are available on the new car at the time.
A recent used car generally still wins, most depreciation falling in the first two years. But the gap has narrowed, and it deserves calculating rather than assuming.
Used also means immediate availability, where a new order means a wait.
On this segment two examples of the same model can differ by several thousand euros on the options fitted from new – audio, adaptive suspension, advanced driver aids, upholstery.
The equipment list deserves close reading: that is where most of the price difference between two apparently identical adverts sits.
In exchange you inherit somebody else's specification. If one option is essential to you, it narrows the field considerably.
The car's exact provenance and the continuity of its network servicing.
Any bodywork repairs, which weigh heavily on a recent car's value.
The state of complex equipment, whose out-of-warranty repair bears no relation to the purchase price.
A car intended to be kept a long time, or access to a premium segment while limiting the initial loss of value.
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.
