cost of used cars in NL

[benz0]

I've been saving up recently and I'm thinking of buying a Dutch LHD car.

However, the sheer cost of cars here is giving me a real headache. From what I can see used motors here cost about 50-100% more than they do in the uk.

I had thought about 6000 euro would get me something decent, but apparently not.

Does anyone have any tips for car hunting here? Are there any makes/models that are unloved here and can be had for less (that aren't dreadful)?

Yeah, ridiculous eh? Even with 6k put aside I feel like I'm looking at the shed end of the market. Think I'll have to push it closer to 9 to get something that is decent.

cheers both! I'm looking for something sized in between a polo and a focus most likely.
