Is it worth buying a used car under ₡2.5 million?

It can be a great option if price and immediate availability are your top priorities, but you should carefully check mechanical condition, real mileage, Marchamo status and the Revisión Técnica Vehicular (RTV). In this range it is common to find older or higher-mileage vehicles, so an independent mechanical inspection before buying is always worth it, regardless of brand.
