With the progressive reactivation of activities in the country, you may be looking for a cheap means of transport that will save you from the rush hours on public transport, where important contagion points of Covid-19 have been registered. Given this, the idea that comes to mind is to get a car, but perhaps our current economy does not allow us to spend large amounts of money to purchase a vehicle. We can look at ways to save money, but sometimes we just need a car here and now, without wanting to think of the financial consequences. We can look at loans but we should consider the implications of these in the future. However, there is always the option to search the used car market. Here are some models:

1. Volkswagen Jetta

A car with a great tradition in our country. The Volkswagen Jetta has been placed as one of the best options when looking for a used car due to its low devaluation. It is estimated that in two years it loses just over 20 percent of its value thanks to the high demand for these in the pre-owned market. 20 percent is “little” compared to other cars, which can decrease in value by 50 percent in the same period of time. Plus, parts are easy to find and repair prices are relatively inexpensive. 

2. Toyota Corolla

There are few brands that can boast durability and reliability like Toyota does, especially with the Corolla, its best-selling car in the world. Among its benefits, we highlight the high level of security that, depending on the variant, can reach up to 5 stars in security tests. Prices can range from $230,000 to $260,000 pesos for models from 2017 to 2019, and its consumption above 15 kilometers per liter places it as one of the most profitable options in its segment. 

3. Chevrolet Beat 

An attractive option for young people looking for their first car or, well, a parent who is thinking of buying an economical vehicle so that their children can transport themselves around the city safely. The 1.2-liter engine in the Chevrolet Beat is more than enough to get around town without a problem, and the 5-speed manual mechanical train is one of the most robust and resistant on the market. However, it should be noted that it only has two front airbags, in all its versions, one of the points in which it could undoubtedly improve. 

3. Land Rover Range Rover

These cars are reliable and strong. When we think of luxury SUVs, the brands that come to mind are usually Audi, BMW or Mercedes-Benz. Those who know the 4×4 world really value Land Rover and it is no coincidence, the brand has been proving for years that its off-road capabilities are first rate. If you do have the option to look at new cars, then there is a New Range Rover Evoque which is an extremely good family car with a sophisticated look and interior.
