Oh, man... Time does fly fast... Before creating this post, I thought that I was doing these too often, worried that I would bother you too much with the same thing over and over again... And then, I checked out my post history and realized that I wrote the last post(s) about the Car show in Alicante 1.5 years AGO!!! You can check two separated posts here and if you like motorcycles, here...
This time, I'm taking you to Valencia, Spain, to explore the world of cars... Just a short warning before we dive deeper... This isn't a post about supercars (Lambos and Ferraris), but there will be a few nice ones... This is more of a post about an ordinary guy checking prices of affordable cars to take you from point A to point B... 😀 I have tried to take photos of cars with prices on them, just for future reference... Btw, compared to the price last year, I have a feeling that they went down a bit... I would like to hear your opinion on this, too! Did the car prices go down in your area, too?
... and the biggest reason for prices going down (if they went down) is cars like this and regulations connected with them... BYD is the biggest producer of electric cars in the world, but somehow, I'm still not convinced about buying an electric car... yet... With the current regulations in the EU, we will probably have to go electric in the next 10-15 years...
at least they are practical... You can make popcorn using the car battery
Audi A3 was almost the first car of my son, but of course, not this one... another 20yo 😃
I hope I will not offend some people, but this Tesla reminds me of my first car drawings when I was a kid... 😃
I know for my American friends, this car looks ridiculous, but yes, some people drive cars like this in Europe... Btw, the first car that I drove here in Spain was a Fiat Panda, a bit bigger than this one, but not too much... 🤣
Okay, let's get down to the business... Now I do remember that I have visited another Car show in the meantime, where I took over 200 photos, and in the end, I didn't publish the post as I was overwhelmed... lol... Then, and now, I was checking out the prices of cars similar to this one, or a bit smaller... Renault Captur or Clio was on my mind... This time, I did similarly, and took photos with models and prices...
Dacia was next on the list... As I do have one, I'm pretty biased toward them... Unfortunately, the biggest advantage that I found isn't present in the new models... The epic, 1.5L Diesel engine is kicked out of new models due to "EU eco laws."
I'm not a big fan of SUVs, but with age, they are more and more practical... High seating, easy entry and exit... 😃
As of engine change, the second best solution is to go with what we have... I would like to skip HYBRIDs, and electric cars still have low autonomy, and luckily, natural gas still counts as "eco-friendly"! I was driving a car on gas before, and I would rather go in that direction than to electric... for now... 😃
This price is for the new car!
A bit of random cars, a few photos for friends, Peugeot and BMW... And Polestar, just without any particular reason... 😃
As I have a friend who drives a Passat, I had to take a photo of this one... We are in the section of used cars, and this one had an interesting price... Legendary 2.0 TDI engine, with over 150km on the clock... Maybe too much, but these can make a lot more...
This Masseratti is out of any buying option (at least until BTC hits 150K 😀), but it is a beautiful car, with not that beautiful price... 😂
As my son bought an old Mercedes for himself, he opened the worms of cans for me... Even though his car is 20 years old, it still looks amazing... It is an A-class, but completely different from today's A class... Anyway, this car was one of the highlights for me on this car show...
maybe the price could be a bit lower...😃
Dream, dream, dream... dreaaaaaam...😃
Back to my son and Mercedes... He says that he likes his current car, but the next one will be the C-class... Well, good luck, my son... Start accumulating money... 😃
Back to reality... 😃
IMO, this white Dacia was one of the best buys at the fair... A bit over 10K EUR, but you get a 4-year-old car with GLP (LPG, gas) for cheap driving!
Two Masserattis at one fair! Too much for my heart! 😃
Imagine having a garage like this... 😃
It was getting late, and I got hungry, so I went out of the exhibition rooms to take a break... It was a mini-food-track show outside where you could buy a hot drink or a snack...
On the way out from the fair, these three trucks were saying goodbye to visitors, and the idea was to finish this visit with this photo... but...
I had to go back to the hall where this used Mercedes A-class was to take the last look at it... 😃
You will be mine... Soon... 😃
That will be all for today... I'm curious to know more about your local used cars market... How are the prices in your area/country? Do you plan to change your car, and which one do you have an eye on? Tell me more in the comment section!
I hope you enjoyed this small "presentation"...
Thank you for your time.
