With a modest amount of a maximum of €1,500 in our pocket, we go on a nostalgic tour. We are looking for the sales bangers from the 90s that have largely disappeared from the streets.
Phase II
Renault 19 1.4 Europe Energy
€1,200
1996
204,577 km
Can you remember the last time you spotted a Renault 19 on our roads? We do not. The majority has now ended up in demolition or has been exported abroad. This is expressly expressed in the second-hand range, because that is meager. We found this red 1996 Phase II with plastic bumpers and mirror caps. That exudes nostalgia, doesn’t it? Admittedly, the cheap hubcaps that seem to come straight from the Halfords, combined with the hideous steering wheel cover, do the Renault little good. Still, it still looks quite nice in the photos, provided you ignore the two shades of red. This survivor still has an MOT until mid-June and has more than two tons on the counter.Looking for a Renault 19 yourself? Here you will find the current offer.
Gone and Forgotten
Ford Escort 1.6

Just like the Renault 19, you have to look for the Ford Escort on the used market with a magnifying glass. Did you see them driving around everywhere in the 80s and 90s, today they seem completely extinct or better yet: rusted away. Fortunately, we were able to find one more copy. This blue Escort still looks pretty fresh on the outside in the photos, but the MOT has expired for over a year, so you have to pay attention. The interior is rather dingy, but how could it be otherwise with a car over 25 years old that does not exactly enjoy an enthusiast status. Negotiate fresh inspection and drive on that thing! The seller reports a mileage of more than 154,000, but the Escort has a five-digit counter, so Joost can know whether that reading is correct.

You feel better…
Peugeot 306 1.4 XR
€1,245

… in a Peugeot. There was a time when you saw that text on almost every Peugeot rear window. Also on the red copy that we find. The seller also emphasizes that he drives well, so there will be a grain of truth in it. Moreover, we know the 306 no different. At first glance, he still looks quite nice. Original hubcaps and even sleek in the red paint, the latter being quite exceptional in older cars in this color. A small point of interest is the right rear door, because that seems dismayed at the wheel arch. But hey, what do you want for such a modest asking price in combination with a relatively low mileage. Air conditioning, electric windows and a folding rear seat are included in the price. The apk is still valid until October. What else does a person need in life?
