Let’s start with what kind of “iron horse” can generally be considered reliable. First of all, it must have a fairly resourceful power unit, that is, an engine and gearbox, and the suspension design is simple. Even if something “flies”, spare parts are always available and will not ruin repairs.
Mitsubishi Lancer of the ninth generation fully meets these requirements. Under the hood there are only “aspirated” engines that work with “mechanics” or a four-speed “automatic”. Suspension generally perpetual. Now you can still find sedans produced in 2003-2005 with runs from 200,000 to 250,000 km, which were imported from Japan. They cost up to 400,000 rubles.
The Chevrolet Cobalt (Ravon R4) was once referred to as a “can” but has outlived much more expensive models. The trump card of the four-door is a strong body with a large trunk. A 1.5 liter engine with a capacity of 106 liters. Of. originally adapted for the 92nd petrol. The 6-speed “automatic” is very reliable (even with an oil leak, it is not so easy to “burn it”). The price is about the same as Mitsu.
In our opinion, “Cobalt” is stronger than “Asian”. For example, an elastic beam at the back can only be bent by hitting it with a sledgehammer. And in general, hodovka tinctures are omnivores.
Go ahead. For Toyota Camry in the back of the VX30, they ask about 650,000 rubles. The iron of the “Japanese” may already be rusty in places, the leather of the seats is cracked, but technically everything is pretty good. The 2.4-liter engine, like the “automatic”, does not cause any problems. Apparently, that’s why the Camry has been called one of the most reliable models of the mid-2000s. It is still very liquid in the secondary market. Especially in the Far East.
Think of the first generation Renault Logan, which is in great demand in the regions. Usually for a sedan in good condition they ask for 350,000 rubles. The weak points include the front wheel bearings and the rear beam seals. This is where the cons end. And atmospheric engines with a capacity of 1.4 and 1.6 liters can be “fed” even with not very high-quality 92nd gasoline.
Finally, another undeservedly forgotten model is the Nissan Almera in the back of the N16. Now within 400,000 rubles you can find a copy of 2006, which has traveled 180,000 km. For 16-valve engines with a capacity of 1.5 liters (90 hp) and 1.8 liters (114 hp), this mileage is not the limit. Especially if the owner followed the car and changed the timing chain. As for the chassis, only minor things need attention here: silentblocks and stabilizer bushings.
