Prices for cars of literally all classes have skyrocketed, causing citizens to pay more and more attention to the secondary market. After all, it is here that you can still find an interesting and “unkilled” specimen that you will enjoy for years to come. Today we will talk about the most reliable sedans that deserve attention.
This legend of the Russian market was built on the platform of the old Opel Kadett and the model was delivered to us from Uzbekistan. In 2008 they carried out restyling, updating the optics and bumpers. The interior has also changed somewhat. Of course it didn’t get radically better, but for an old car at least a plus.
As for powertrains, a used Nexia can be bought with one of the two engines. The first is a 1.5 liter eight-valve with 80 hp. of. The second is a 16-valve 1.6-litre engine with 109 hp. of. Both are notorious for leaking oil from the valve cover and cylinder head gaskets, so be careful when inspecting. The rest of the issues are minor and uncritical.
The Japanese, made on the French platform, is also the cheapest and most reliable option among the “used” sedans. Now you can buy a third-generation model in the back of the G15 for half a million rubles.
For example, they sell a 2018 copy for 450,000 with a mileage of 200,000 kilometers, equipped with a 1.6 liter engine with a power of 102 hp. of. and five-stage “mechanics”. The mileage is quite large, but the chassis of the sedan is strong. The rear suspension is generally indestructible, so after investing a certain amount of money in the replacement of consumables and repairs, Almera will still be alive.
Our top five also includes the ninth-generation Lancer. This sedan has a number of advantages. It has exceptionally naturally aspirated engines operating with a mechanical “five-speed” and a four-speed “automatic”, a “cleanable” interior and a reliable chassis.
Now on the “secondary” there are cars made in 2003-2005 with trips from 150,000 to 200,000 km. They are quite strong, because they came to us from Japan, where they were collected. And Asians have always done it properly. So even battered ones are still quite alive.
Once popular with our customers, the sedan, although it left the Russian market, remained in the secondary market. This car is much more comfortable and prestigious than Nexia, Almera and Lancer. As for the engines, we distinguish here a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine with an output of 109 hp. met., which is mated to a five-speed manual transmission. This bundle is the most interesting in terms of reliability.
Now for 500,000 on the secondary market you can buy a 2013 sedan with 200,000 km mileage. But for a car with an “automatic” you have to pay more, because it is not part of our range.
Let’s not get around “our brands”, because the same “Grant” is unpretentious and has an “omnivorous” suspension. In addition, there are many spare parts for this car, and repairs can be carried out even in the garage of Ashot. That’s why you are most welcome!
On the secondary market you will find reasonably fresh copies with a range of up to 80,000 km until 2019. Under the hood of the cars operate 1.6-liter engines with eight and sixteen valves with an output of 87, 98 and 106 hp. of. The choice of transmissions is wide: from “mechanics” to a single-disc “robot” and the classic “automatic”. So there is plenty to choose from.
