Because it is so great, or because this is the last decent car which is 10k euro, and people cannot afford for example VW Polo?

Because of killer bang for buck. Dacias are essentially cheapened versions of Renault models. The cars are reliable enough for first two owners not to be bothered, so resale value does not drop too much. Of course the absolute price point is also relevant.

enigma20|2 years ago

Sure, but again. People are buying it because Dacias are the cheapest, and there is nothing cheaper besides some Chinese brands, which have questionable quality, and are not available on very market. My dad has Sandero. He bought it because he cannot afford any other new vehicle. If he could, he would have bought Kia X-ceed, or Toyota Yaris X-Cross or something similar.

At least in Italy, nowadays a Sandero starts around 12,500 Euro for the base-base model, it is more likely that actual sold cars are in most cases more around 14,000 Euro.

It remains the cheapest car avaialble, though the 10,000 price point is a thing of the past.

Really? What about the Fiat Panda?

I live in Spain and:

People only buy Dacia because they can't afford anything else. If they could you would see the Dacia market share shrink to almost zero.

Some people cope with "Dacia is just a cheap Renault" the same they cope with "Seat (Spanish brand) is just a cheap Volkswagen", but deep down inside them they know they can't buy the car they really wanted.

So? most people would buy expensive bmw’s, Porsches or ferarri’s if they could, but they can’t afford them, so they settle for opel, Renault, Hyundai , Toyota or other more affordable cars. Nothing wrong with that. What is surprising is that are not more brands focussing on the market targeted by Dacia.

> buy Dacia because they can't afford anything else

In much of Eastern Europe most people would just rather buy a beat up BMW or even a relatively decent one for 10-15k.

To be fair I kind of feel the same. Getting a 2-3 old car seems like a better option than a brand new Dacia

Hang on, you mean people only buy things they can afford (or have the ability to get some sort of terrible finance deal on)?

I thought they went and robbed a couple of banks like I do.
