I've only got two more years to spend here in Poznan and would like to get a decent but cheap car to help me get around for the remainder of my time - problem is that I don't know much about cars and neither do any of the other med students I go to school with.

I'm looking for suggestions on buying a car for under 10 000 Zł without getting screwed. Somebody suggested grabbing a Fiat from a dealership - any thoughts on that? I know a lot of people suggest going to Berlin but if I can avoid doing that I'd prefer it since I don't have a lot of free time.

Now that they are starting to renovate the major roundabouts in this city tram travel is no longer a good option so I'm wondering what people would suggest if they were in my position??

Go to Germany and get one there.

Stay well clear of driving in Poznan, things are an utter disaster at the minute and they're going to get a hell of a lot worse in a few weeks.

If you want to buy a car - the best bet is going to Germany. Cars here are just wrecks in general - for less than 10,000PLN, you won't get anything worthwhile.

I have heard Kia's are pretty mechanically decent cars and buying a used one is mostly pretty safe (most Kia's have 7 year guarantee since a good couple of years now) - one of my acquaintances bought a used Kia an was happy with it for the whole time we kept in touch (like 2001 - 2006) , old Mercedeses are said be to a good bet for a used car but they tend to have pretty big engines and I don't really know the price ranges for used Mercedeses - next thing to consider is just buying the cheapest thing that looks decent enough - (perhaps you can try the car for a couple of days - I think it is possible with actuall owners and perhaps with some middle men too) - it may well break down in a year's time but you can spend as little as 4000 PLN (or even less) on it

I have found this Kia for example http://tablica.pl/oferta/kia-sephia-16-16v-z-lpg-IDh2ZN.html - runs on LPG

or this one - this one looks quite fine to me - http://tablica.pl/oferta/kia-joice-2001-IDj1uw.html
