I've been in Romania a couple of years ago.
I was supprised to see people actually driving in Dacia's. I would not dare to do that...

Dacia's were everywere... hardly saw any other brand...

I think you drive a very good/relieble car when you buy the 343. I hope you can buy it!

Well it depends on which country you live in.

600 euros is about normal price for a standard 300-series in here too. 360's in good confition (GLT's in good condition especially hard to find) are about ~1000 euros and turbos/modified usually 1500 and above. Prices are high because we have kinda high taxing for vehicles in here. Then again if I would buy a 300-series for example from Sweden 600 euros would be high price. (They don't have any taxing at all for used cars there.)

Here i must contradict you! In Bucharest, old Dacia are hard to find. Bucharest and Transilvania are full of foreign cars, expensive ones. Renault sells in here about 50k cars a year, Peugeot 40k, VW+Seat+Skoda again allmoast 50k, so we have quite a lot of new cars. And Dacia refreshed it's cars, introduceing Solenza (wich was the first car made after Renault bought Dacia) and the new Logan, wich i think you can find it in your shops, cose it's ben released in France and in Germany.
It's a good car for 8000E.

About the old Dacia, they are basd on the 1968 Renault 11 (or 9

) and suffered little improovments till 2004, when Renault stoped the production. Their main advantage is that everybody can fix them. They have a simple engine, everything is simple and the owner and some friends can work at it in one afternoon and fix all the bugs. Also, it is very cheap and the spear parts are also cheap.

But if you come now and take a tour of the center of Bucharest, you'll see the newest cars made. An exampl: i saw a Mercedes CLS 500 a few weeks after it's presentation...a 100000E car!

And now, we can allmoast all buy cars in leasing, with 2-3000E in advance and 48-60 monthly payments of 70-200E!

I just spoke with my most loved gradfather and he said that we shall find a way to take the car...Not the money are the problem, but my mom

I was there to organize a Evangelisation "camp" for children in Buturugeni, just under Bucharest. (28 km southwest)
We prepared the campsite in the first week and made some trips to Bucharest and the castle "Peles".
In the second week we had about 500 children from the region on the site...

That new Dacia is also on sale in The Netherlands, they expect it'll sell well in minimun income range.

Post by **bodejodel** » 25 Jun 2005 07:09 pm

If I earned minimum wages I'd buy a 360!

Ok, i see you are familliar with the are

That's good! Maybe you evean learned some romanian....Or maybe you noticed how pretty are our girls

About Logan, it's a car with a lot of interior space, it's good for 5 persons, it has a good engine and a good gearbox (from Renault, especialy the 1.6l), it has ABS, double airbag, cd player and all for 8500E. I think it's pretty good. It doesn't have the best design or the best plastics in the inside, but it's a new car. In here you can buy it with only 59E/month over 7 years and with 1500E in advance, wich is great for the people. It selled in over 50k this year, wich is a lot!

I did learn some romanian... and forgot about it pretty soon after... (it is HARD)
I did notice the girls... not bad at all...

It's a good thing Dacia is producing a new car. That's good for the employment in Romania.

OHHHH, i just had my last exam...

And i just saw AGAIN the nice girls of the town.... sm72

About Dacia, i don't think is produceing extra jobs cose most of the components are from the existing Renault Clio, so they are made in Turkey or something like this.

I spoke with the 343's owner and he is in hollyday. He'll be back after the 2nd of July.
