You'd be surprised, but a lot of used car websites have used cars under 1000 euros. Many old cars (more than 10 years old) are often available for sale for about 1000 euros or even less. Now, be advised that for 1000 euro or thereabouts, you're probably going to have to do some work on the car, but if you're handy with cars, this is really a steal. Be prepared to put some elbow grease and perhaps a little cash into a car that you get for under 1000 euro. That said, though, you can still come out far ahead as compared to making car payments on a much more expensive car. These types of cars are much less expensive to insure, too.
There are some cautions with these types of car sales, though. You have to be really, really careful that number one, the car isn't stolen, and number two, that everything wrong with the car (and there will be something wrong with a car that's being sold for under 1000 euro, most likely) has clearly been laid out to you by the previous owner. If it's something you can handle, great.
To make sure the car you want hasn't been stolen (especially if it's a really nice car and it's still being sold for 1000 euro or so), it's a really good idea to run the car's vehicle identification number on one of the many car history checks you can find that do this type of thing. If a stolen vehicle report has been filed, it will be found. Of course, you know you should stay away from this type of car.
