Reliability of the Seller: Whether dealing with a private individual or a professional, the honesty and knowledge of the car’s history are crucial.

General Condition and Mechanics: Conduct a careful inspection of the car’s overall condition and components. A comprehensive mechanical assessment is essential.

Maintenance: Examine the maintenance history, particularly for older vehicles.

Luck: Keep in mind that used cars, especially older ones, may unexpectedly develop issues.

Here are some examples of budget-friendly cars available for sale in Italy:

Fiat Panda: A classic Italian city car known for its reliability and low maintenance costs.
Renault Clio: A youthful-style car with good components and reliability.
Nissan Micra: A small, reliable Japanese car.
Opel/Vauxhall Corsa: A classic among utility vehicles in Italy, particularly popular among young people.
Chevrolet Spark: Easily found in the GPL version with a small petrol engine.

Remember, when shopping within this price range (below 2500 euros), you’ll generally encounter cars that are approximately 15-20 years old with higher mileage. Stay vigilant and consider potential wear and tear issues during your purchase.
