I have up to €7,000 to buy a car with low costs.

Hi,

I am planning to buy a used car manufactured in 2008 or 2009 and my budget for this is between €6,000 and €7,000. Please suggest a good sedan that is worth driving for a period of six to eight years from now. I am not a person who commutes long distances in my day to day life. Probably I may travel 25,000-30,000km per year. I am looking forward to buying a car with low maintenance cost and fuel economy.

Thanks. Sebastian J.
