Purchase budget—RUB 100,000
Most cars in this price category are domestic models. They are cheap because they are far from modern car equipment standards, and they can be more than 25 years old. It is also worth paying attention to the models of the South Korean division of GM - Daewoo.
What you can buy:
VAZ-2104, VAZ-2105, VAZ-2107
Structurally, these cars are practically no different from each other. They are suitable as a first car or a working option (for example, when building a country house). Due to their age, these machines require constant minor repairs. All operations are cheap, but time-consuming.
VAZ-2109, Lada 2110, Lada 2111, Lada 2114
The heirs of the AvtoVAZ “classics” are distinguished by a more modern design, as well as front-wheel drive. They also cannot boast of good equipment, but they are easier to find in more or less good condition. This is their main advantage over the classic line.
Daewoo Matiz
A city runabout from a Korean company can be an excellent vehicle for those who regularly move around the city. With such a car you are unlikely to have difficulty parking. Also, the small engine has low fuel consumption. Spare parts and consumables are no more expensive than in the case of domestic models.
Advantages of buying these cars:
- Low cost of maintenance and repair. Spare parts, and especially consumables, are very cheap. Also, many operations can be performed independently if you have the appropriate experience and tools.
- Availability of spare parts. Many parts can be purchased even in small auto stores.
- Cars are easy to repair. If you don’t want to do the work yourself, you can contact almost any service.
- Liquidity. Due to their low price, they are quite easy to sell.
What to pay attention to:
- Documentation. Often cars at this price have problems with registration due to the loss of the title, with the purchase and sale agreement or their incorrect execution.
- Rust. We are not talking about minor oxidation of the metal in the area of the wheel arches or the bottom - this situation is the norm. Here it is worth paying attention to rotting and destruction of the material. For example, you can often find through holes in the floor of a car.
- Traces of serious accidents. Often there are frankly poorly repaired specimens. The fact of such an incident can be revealed, for example, by non-factory (and uneven) welds, as well as traces of repairs on the side members (the basis of the structure that runs along the entire length of the car, the power part of the body).
Purchase budget - 300,000 ₽
With this budget, you can consider more models. It is worth paying attention to relatively recent budget models from European concerns or older Japanese cars.
What you can buy:
Renault Logan (first generation, restyling)
This car of the French concern is capable of maintaining tens of thousands of kilometers without major repairs. The machine is also easy to maintain. Since the model is quite modern, some modifications have good equipment on board - air conditioning, anti-lock braking system (ABS), airbags and an audio system. But, of course, we are not talking about the basic configurations of the model.
Hyundai Getz
The compact hatchback is perfect for traveling in urban areas. Maintaining such a machine is not very expensive. We also note the fairly high reliability of the main units (engine, gearbox). Hyundai Getz will be a good choice if you are purchasing your first car.
Nissan Almera Classic
Another rather unpretentious car to maintain. Previously, it could often be found in taxis, which indicates the reliability of the car - in such services there is no place for models that are constantly idle in services. The car is adapted to 92 gasoline. Spare parts and consumables are inexpensive. And since the model is devoid of complex auxiliary systems, for its high-quality repair and maintenance there is no need to look for specialized technical centers - almost any service station can handle the work.
Advantages of buying these cars:
- It is possible to choose a relatively young car.
- There are quite rich (for its segment) configurations - with air conditioning and ABS.
- You can find a version with an automatic transmission (automatic transmission). This will make daily travel around the city much easier.
What to pay attention to:
- Commercial use. Typically, such machines do not receive high-quality maintenance, so it is better not to purchase them. You can check information about car registration in such services on the website avtocod.ru.
- Serious accidents. If a car of this class had significant damage, then most likely the owners did not invest large sums in repairs. Therefore, there is no question of quality work performed.
- Rust. Most likely, these cars will have pockets of corrosion. However, if the metal begins to deteriorate, you will have to invest in body repairs. Such costs are not always justified.

Specifications
Speaking about the TX “tens”, we will take the base model as an example, so as not to get confused and not mislead you. So, before us is a classic sedan - a four-door with five seats.
Officially, this miracle of the domestic automobile industry belongs to class “C”.
• The base model has a 1.5 petrol engine with only 71 hp and a torque of 104 Nm. The engine is carburetor, 2 valves per cylinder. • The car is front-wheel drive, with a five-speed manual transmission. • Front suspension is MacPherson strut, rear – trailing arm. • Brakes – disc at the front and drum at the rear. • Speed – 165 km/h. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 14 seconds. • Fuel consumption from 5.5 l. up to 9.1 l. per 100 km. • Fuel tank – 43 liters. • Ground clearance – 165 mm.
As you can see, there is absolutely nothing interesting in the “base”. Except, perhaps, the price. Even the first modification - 21101 is already much more pleasant in terms of power. Its production began in 1999 and took into account some of the wishes of car enthusiasts. Engine 1596 cc cm. has a power of 80 horses.

With adequate operation, ten and 101 models will serve faithfully for a long time. If you don't forget about timely service. Looking through numerous test drives, after which some Asian cars would simply crumble into powder, you understand that the car is truly reliable. After 100 thousand, the engine does not yet require major repairs, which is very, very good for VAZs. Interior and exterior
As for the interior, it is really spacious and comfortable. If you didn’t fork out for the basic equipment and have beautiful velor chairs, then everything is very good. The adjustable steering column is also a useful thing.
What immediately catches your eye is the landing. When transferring from Samara, you will not notice the difference. But when compared with the classics, the changes are obvious. You can stretch your legs, which is much more comfortable.
The beautiful steering wheel rim looks very stylish, although for some drivers it seems too thin. But here, to each his own.
The next thing worth noting is the normal soft plastic of the front panel. It doesn’t creak as terribly as in the old Samaras. The hefty buttons located on the side are a little surprising. But let's not forget that this is a design that began to be developed in 85, and the first sample came out in 95. At that time everything was very modern. We all understand very well that if it weren’t for the series of crises that began with the collapse of the Union and continued with depressing frequency, VAZs would now look completely different, both inside and out.
Already in 1997, many cars had an on-board computer installed. It was just space, compared to some “seven”. What did he give the driver? For example, fuel consumption indicators, or information that one of the doors is poorly closed. For a family with a child, or a driver driving a drunk company, this is a very useful addition.
Air conditioning on the VAZ 2110 can be supplied separately for an additional fee. It won't cost much even now.
If you got a “luxury” ten, then congratulations - it won’t have front electric windows.
As for the comfort of passengers, they will find room for their legs and it will be comfortable. Except that the sofa can hardly accommodate three people. Unless they are miniature young ladies. But three of your colleagues from work will feel less comfortable in such a situation.
The trunk is comfortable and spacious. The volume is as much as 480 liters. The clever design of the lid helps when you are packing something heavy and bulky.
From the outside, the car looks quite modern even today. Although it is not without (according to critics) certain shortcomings. They believe that the "stern" adds a feeling of heaviness. However, even they fall silent, looking at the excellent aerodynamic performance of the “ten”. Compared to the 99th model, the difference is obvious.
Drag is only 0.347. The net result is better fuel economy on the highway than any previous model.

Comparing with Fiat designs of cars from the “kopek” to the “seven”, the 2110 seems like just a spaceship, both outside and inside.
Particularly pleasing in this regard was the “luxury” package, which, in addition to the differences described above, also had additional headlights on the bumper and another brake light located behind the rear window.
Purchase budget—RUB 500,000
This amount already gives a lot of room for maneuver. The choice is no longer limited only to older models or cars with minimal configuration. Note that half a million is the entry threshold for some representatives of the premium segment. For this money you can buy a not problem-free, but lively copy. However, it will, of course, require quite serious investments over time.
What you can buy:
Hyundai Solaris (first generation)
Solaris has become a real bestseller in Russia. It is economical, quite cheap to maintain and reliable. It is often used in taxis and car sharing. These services are focused on making money, so they won’t choose a capricious model for their fleet.
KIA Rio (third generation)
This is a beautiful model. Compared to Solaris, it has a higher level of equipment. For example, it is not difficult to find a car with air conditioning, automatic transmission, heated seats and steering wheel. The cars are equipped with the same units, so we can talk about the reliability of the Rio. It is also widely used in taxis. The cost of maintaining these machines is also the same - even original spare parts and consumables are not too expensive.
Volkswagen Polo Sedan
This car is not inferior in popularity to the South Korean models described above. It is equipped with fairly simple and time-tested units, and also offers a large number of options. Buying such a car will be a fairly pragmatic decision. If you choose a model that has not been used in a taxi, you will be provided with trouble-free operation for tens of thousands of kilometers. We also note the presence of a large number of specialized services that will allow you to solve complex problems cheaper than the officials.
Renault Duster
The compact crossover is easy to maintain. Neither routine maintenance nor repairs will require serious expenses. The advantage of using it in Russian conditions is a fairly high ground clearance and all-wheel drive (for the specified amount on the secondary market you can pick up an all-wheel drive modification in good condition).
Advantages of buying these cars:
- Modern models. Cars have a set of options necessary for comfortable operation.
- Fairly new cars. Cars with little age and not very high mileage.
- Wide selection of cars. In this price category you can consider a considerable number of models from representatives of different concerns.
What to pay attention to:
- Operation in a taxi. If it is revealed that the car is registered in such services, you should refuse to purchase it. The easiest way to check is using the website avtocod.ru.
- Mileage. It is necessary to check not only the numbers on the odometer, but also indirect signs - the condition of the driver's seat, the level of wear on the steering wheel trim material and gearbox knob. Often the mileage on these cars is doubled or more.
- Serious accidents. Hastily restored cars in this segment are not uncommon on the market.
How to choose a VAZ 2110 car?
Miscellaneous
If you just recently received your license, then it is best to gain experience in a car that you won’t mind even if it crashes. Very often, novice drivers buy used domestic cars, some then don’t even want to change them - they get used to it, do tuning, that is, improve their “iron horses”. However, even a used car must be chosen correctly, otherwise it will not last you even a year.
Device VAZ 2110
The VAZ 2110 model first appeared on sale in 1995, and among the people it received a variety of nicknames. So, it was called “pregnant antelope” and simply “bast shoes”. However, this car is still successfully sold on the secondary car market.
The design of the VAZ 2110, in general, is practically no different from the design of other VAZ models, in addition, more than one book was written about this model at one time. Thanks to this, almost any car enthusiast is able to make some changes to his “iron horse” on his own. It is also worth noting that in all cities you can easily find the necessary spare parts for this model, which adds another plus to it.
Having decided to purchase this particular model, it is important to remember that the design of the VAZ 2110 is such that there is not sufficient visibility from the interior when moving backwards. Actually, most cars of this model have some kind of scratches, and, as a rule, the reason for getting scratches is poor visibility. You will have to get used to and adapt to this.
It is also important to keep in mind that the car requires firm and clear orders on the pedals, but at first the legs usually do not get tired from such loads. Another weak point in the VAZ 2110 device is the clutch pedal travel.
Of course, when compared with foreign cars, the VAZ 2110 loses greatly, however, in general, this model is very suitable for a first car, especially since you can not spare it and use it, including as a means of transporting heavy loads, for example, furniture or building materials.
How to choose a VAZ 2110 car
So, you found an advertisement for the sale of a VAZ 2110 that interested you and went to a meeting with the seller, or simply went to the car market. How exactly to choose a VAZ 2101 car? What should you pay attention to? If you are well versed in the design of the VAZ 2110, then most likely there will be no problems, but very few novice car enthusiasts can boast of such knowledge. Of course, you can take a friend with you who is much better versed in cars, but you may not have such friends or they simply won’t have free time. We have compiled a short list of recommendations on what you should pay attention to when buying a used VAZ 2110.
First, you must decide the exact amount you are willing to spend on a car. Try to choose a car whose cost is lower by about 20 percent of the amount allocated for the purchase - you will need the remaining money after purchasing the VAZ 2110.

Purchase budget—RUB 700,000
Having such a budget, many motorists (especially young ones) are looking at premium segment models. But a more pragmatic solution would be to buy representatives of the C or D-class. In addition to good equipment, these cars have a spacious interior and trunk, which will allow you not only to move comfortably around the city, but also to go out into nature. Also, these cars can become a family vehicle.

What you can buy:
Skoda Octavia (A5/A7)
This car is valued for its versatility. Convenient body configurations - liftback and station wagon - allow you to transport large loads. We also note the signature Volkswagen ergonomics - you don’t get tired behind the wheel even after driving for many hours. Servicing the model is inexpensive - there are many high-quality non-original consumables and spare parts on the market. We recommend choosing a car with a naturally aspirated engine and a manual transmission (a classic automatic is a little less reliable). But early versions with the proprietary DSG robot (Direkt Schalt Getrieb, the name of the robotic gearbox developed by the Volkswagen Group.) are best avoided.
KIA Ceed
The model of the South Korean concern attracts young drivers with its design. However, the car is also suitable for a more mature buyer - for example, if we are talking about the station wagon version. Ceed is quite inexpensive to maintain and is also quite reliable, as evidenced by its presence in taxi companies. For driving in the city and even on the highway, its power reserve is quite enough.
KIA Sportage (SL, third generation)
This crossover is very popular in our country. It combines expressive design, a good level of equipment and an all-wheel drive system that allows you to feel confident in any weather. Original consumables and technical fluids are not too expensive. Its main units - the engine and gearbox - are highly reliable.
Advantages of buying these cars:
- Opportunity to purchase a crossover. In Russian climatic conditions this is very important.
- Large selection of models. If you really want, you can even consider a premium model.
- Vehicle equipment level. These machines have a large number of options and are equipped with modern auxiliary systems. For example, on board there is multimedia, air conditioning, parking sensors, and in some modifications a rear view camera.
What to pay attention to:
- Number of owners. If a car has had 3-4 owners over the course of 4-5 years of operation, you should refuse to buy it.
- Commercial use. If the car was used in a taxi (which is often hidden), it is not worth purchasing it.
- Successful modifications. Enough time has passed since their production began, and the typical problems with these cars are well known. It is important to choose machines that are equipped with the least problematic units.
Purchase budget—RUB 1,000,000
This is a significant amount to buy a car on the secondary market. Having such a budget, you can even take a closer look at used S-Class representatives. But it is better to purchase a car that not only meets all modern requirements, but also has high liquidity on the secondary market. After two or three years of operation, it can be quickly and profitably sold. There is also the opportunity to purchase a completely new budget car. It will lose some price, but the wear and tear on its components (systems and mechanisms) will be minimal.
What you can buy:
Toyota Camry (XV40/XV50)
This model of the Japanese concern is highly valued for its reliability. The car is capable of driving hundreds of thousands of kilometers without major repairs. Also, these cars lose value very slowly, so buying them is profitable. At the same time, high-quality machine maintenance is not very expensive. The cars have modern equipment on board, which ensures comfort and safety of movement.
Volkswagen Tiguan (first generation)
The crossover from the German company is very popular. Of course, there are offers on the market at a lower price, but it’s better not to take risks and consider a restyled model (updated externally and technically). Avoid 1.4-liter gasoline turbo engines; due to the low quality of fuel in our country, they often cause problems. A diesel car would be a good option. With a responsible approach to maintenance, it can operate uninterruptedly for tens of thousands of kilometers.
Hyundai Creta
For a million you can buy such a car with low mileage, a 2-liter engine and all-wheel drive. This would be a good choice if you are looking for a crossover. Creta is quite inexpensive to maintain - there are a lot of high-quality non-original spare parts and consumables on the market. Also, for repairs, you don’t have to look for specialized services, because the car does not have super complex systems. The necessary work can also be performed in an ordinary multi-brand technical center.
Handling, cross-country ability, driving sensations
The four-door sedan from Tolyatti was initially made as a complete alternative to the “Spartan” Ladas and earlier models with the “Fiat” body type. Including the feeling of driving. The suspension has become more pleasant. You no longer felt every feature of your native roads with your tailbone. More precisely, they felt it, but not so strongly.
The off-road characteristics of the new car, of course, are not Niva’s, but on domestic roads and directions (for it’s simply a sin to call them roads) it feels good. Ground clearance of 170 mm is clearly not for fans of lowered cars. It is usually enough to feel confident enough even in the fall. However, it all depends on the area. Because in some places only diesel caterpillar tractors feel at ease.
The smoothness of the ride is top five. Here it is worth paying tribute to the designers and engineers. There are no strong vibrations or other unpleasant sensations when driving. If you want even more comfort, installing an air conditioner on a VAZ 2110 .
Owners of individual cars sometimes complain about directional stability, which, in their opinion, is less than that of the 99th model.
If you install 14-inch wheels, you begin to feel the bumps on the road more harshly. At the same time, handling does not become worse, which is good news. But here's the problem - you start catching the rear edge of the wheel arch. And this despite the fact that 14-inch wheels were initially provided by the manufacturer.

Very often you have to think about replacing shock absorbers. However, this applies to cars produced in the 90s, where this problem was a common occurrence, and already at 20 thousand, smart drivers installed “Torgmash” instead of their relatives.
However, if the “ten” was well looked after, then even after 200 thousand it will feel quite good. Here, as with any car. This is not a “classic”, like the 6th model. Riding the 2110 is much more comfortable. Of course, this is not a “Bavarian”, but the price category is completely different.
