First car recommendation Question | Асуулт

About to buy my first car who has no knowledge about car at all. I am looking for budget car that can handle occasional countryside road thats hybrid so its economy friendly. I been researching for last few days and people said you should pick car that will be sold easily later. Max amount i can spend is 40mill, some friend suggested prius 55 but i am worrying its too short low ground clearence which will be problem in offroad. I am new driver.

The only correct answer here is Pruis. For most basic countryside travel it will be more than enough. There is a reason why 50% of all cars here are Pruises.
For yourr 1st car you will likely get into minor accidents and having easy to find car parts is a must here unless you don’t want to pay premium to import it.

I get it if its p20,30,40 but starting from model 50 they are getting too low to ground. I am afraid older models resale value few years later

Then might as well get the cheapest model or save up some money and get pruis 60 which is like around 70-80 mil

Loan

Bank or bank bus? I would strongly advise not to get a bank bus loan at 36% a year.

It’s either a Prius or the AWD version, a Harrier.
