Deciding on the best used cars is tricky. This is influenced not only by the build quality, but also by the conditions of the car. However, if you drop the last condition and focus only on the first, then choosing the best used car under 1,000,000 rubles becomes easier. When compiling the rating, models over 7 years of age were not taken into account.

9th place. Audi A4 B8

Audi A4 is located on the ninth line of the rating only because you can buy for 1 million rubles only a front-wheel drive version of this model with a "low-power" engine and "poor" equipment. However, the absence of some safety systems does not affect the overall reliability of the German sedan and does not affect the car's handling. In addition, buying an Audi A4 as a used car up to 1,000,000 rubles, you can buy a truly status car that provides a high level of comfort.

8th place. Lexus GS 3 third generation

The second status model to appear in this ranking. Despite the fact that the car was released a long time ago, Lexus GS 3, like other Toyota products, is distinguished by high build quality and reliable motors that remain operational for several hundred thousand kilometers. But this is precisely the main drawback of this model. Finding a Lexus GS 3 that is in working order and does not require serious financial investments in the secondary market is quite difficult. The Japanese sedan with its rich equipment and powerful engine is quickly sold out as soon as it goes on sale.

7th place. Infiniti M4

The Japanese model in the fourth generation has already acquired those characteristic features for which modern cars of the Infiniti brand are famous. In particular, this sedan features a prominent front end with protruding edges, which gives it a "muscular" appearance. The Infiniti M4 demonstrates good dynamics, briskly starts from a standstill and confidently keeps on the road. True, certain problems arise when the car drives on a motorway with bumps and holes.

The Infiniti M4 has two main drawbacks. Firstly, the model is equipped with powerful motors for which a high tax is charged. Second, the value of a Japanese car is falling rapidly. Therefore, this sedan is recommended to buy only if the Infiniti M4 is purchased for several years. You won't be able to sell this car quickly.

6th place. 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan

The German crossover combines the qualities of a city car and an SUV. The SUV features a comfortable interior and reliable design. The latter, in particular, is facilitated by the fact that the 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan is a product of the German assembly. The car is characterized by an attractive appearance and a well-thought-out interior from the point of view of ergonomics.

The right choice among used cars up to 1,000,000 rubles is the purchase of a Volkswagen Tiguan in different trim levels, including those that offer really rich equipment with several airbags and safety systems. Along with this, the crossover has a wide engine range, including 2-liter units, whose maximum power reaches 170 hp. There are also several gearboxes to choose from: both mechanical and automatic. The model has a front-wheel drive design.

5th place. Mercedes C-Class in the back of 204

The restyled version of the Mercedes C-Class in the 204th body stands out against the background of the previous cars in this rating with its modern design. Moreover, the German sedan in this version has pretty good equipment, which includes the necessary security systems and a multimedia complex, electric seats and leather trim.

However, the Mercedes C-Class has one significant drawback, which can be perceived as an advantage. The German model is equipped with a 1.8-liter engine, which does not provide the car with good dynamic performance. But, as the used car market shows, you can also find all-wheel drive modifications of the Mercedes C-Class worth up to 1,000,000 rubles. Moreover, in this version, the sedan is already equipped with a motor, whose power exceeds 250 hp. With this engine, the Mercedes C-Class is able to quickly gain the first 100 km / h and reach a decent speed. True, the installation of this motor makes the sedan expensive to maintain.

4th place. 2011 Honda CR-V

The 2011 Honda CR-V is a truly reliable car, distinguished by its attractive appearance, thoughtful interior and good equipment. Moreover, the Japanese crossover in this modification has repeatedly become the winner in various ratings. Outwardly, the model looks good even against the background of modern SUVs. Already in the basic configuration, the crossover is equipped with equipment that provides a high level of comfort, including in Russian conditions.

Honda CR-V is available with several engines of 2 and 2.4 liters. The latter develops about 170 hp. power and is combined with an automatic transmission. The sophisticated suspension design allows the Japanese model to feel confident both on asphalt and off-road conditions. It should also be noted that the Honda CR-V has good performance characteristics. In particular, if you buy a model with a mileage of less than 100 thousand kilometers, then for several months or even years the car will not require significant costs, with the exception of the costs associated with changing the oil or spark plugs.

3rd place - 2012 Volvo S60

Starting with the Volvo S60, the Swedish company has taken a different approach to car assembly. This sedan became the first in a series of models that already in the basic configuration have modern technological solutions that provide a high level of comfort and safety. However, modern cars of the Swedish brand Volvo S60 are inferior in terms of design. This is explained by the fact that this model is designed for a wide audience, when, like the current cars, they are representatives of the premium class.

But in spite of the above, the Swedish sedan in the performance of 2012 is able to satisfy the needs of different buyers, including the most demanding ones. The latter model offers an ergonomic interior with comfortable front seats and a well-thought-out arrangement of control buttons for the built-in electronics. The car is equipped with several reliable engines, which, subject to the rules of operation, do not cause problems for many tens of thousands of kilometers. The 2012 Volvo S60 does not need frequent repairs. Therefore, the car will be a profitable purchase.

2nd place. 2012 Toyota Camry

Toyota is famous for its engines. And the motors installed on the 2012 Camry are no exception to the rule. The Japanese business sedan, which is also suitable for the family, stands out for its high-quality assembly, a comfortable interior, comfortable seats and a wide range of trim levels, allowing you to choose a car that meets various needs. Toyota Camry has a memorable appearance.

In the engine range available to the Japanese sedan, attention should be paid to the 2.5-liter unit, which develops 181 hp. But if you need a really powerful car, then it is worth looking in the market for used Toyota Camry cars with a 3.5-liter power plant. This model is also notable for the fact that, unlike the above sedans and crossovers, it can be purchased with a range of more than 100 thousand kilometers. The motor will most likely not cause problems.

1st place. 2010 BMW X1

The main reason why the BMW X1 came out on top is that the Bavarian model has been at the forefront of the used car market for several years. This crossover, even in the performance of 2010, has a modern appearance. The BMW X1 is offered in the aftermarket in various modifications with a wide range of engines and many safety systems. Among the important advantages of the Bavarian crossover, it should be noted that the price of the car "slowly" falls over time. Therefore, the BMW X1 can be bought including with the expectation of a quick resale.
