There is no expertise in Bulgaria so we will completely choose and buy the car on our own initiative and see what will happen to us. Let there be no Bulgarian passengers, enjoy the ride. // My father and I are hitting the road because we will buy the car for my father. He is retired from here and stays in our hometown Bulgaria in the summers, so we sold his car here and decided to buy a car from there. // We first researched the car we wanted to buy on second-hand websites in Bulgaria. Our criteria were 1. it should be diesel 2. it should be big, jeep style but we don't want a very big engine, it should be somewhat economical in fuel, it should be automatic transmission, it should not have chronic problems, maintenance and operating costs should also be practical and cheap. Finally, it would be good if there were plenty of equipment features but it should definitely have Cruz control. Sometimes for example you look at a 2012 Audi Q5 and there is no Cruz control in the car. We immediately eliminate cars without Cruz control because the car will be on long roads. When we consider all these criteria and our budget, the options we come across are bmw x3 audi q5 tiguan honda crv we liked a few ads among these models by researching their features and added them to our favorites now when we go we will go and look at the vehicles in the favorite ads in order of priority we will buy the vehicle we feel comfortable with if possible. We are not going headlong, in other words we made a certain plan before going there we are going prepared. Let's watch and see what happens for the best. // After having breakfast in Kazdağları as we approach Çanakkale we are greeted by the newly built 18 March Martyrs Bridge. All that is left is the assembly of the bridge's panels, now its silhouette has emerged. While dreaming of the day we will cross the bridge we leave the Asian continent by ferry. 2 hours after crossing to the European side we are at the Kapıkule Bulgarian border gate. We cross to the Bulgarian side with our passports and the PCR tests we had done the day before. // Since we set off early in the morning we arrived at our village and home before dark. We have traveled 750 km from İzmir to here. We need a fresh body and mind tomorrow. That's why we're going to rest. // The day we were going to look at a car, we woke up to a snowy day. As I walk towards my car, which I had locked in the garage the night before, I pray that the roads will be clear. My father, my cousin and I set off. The road conditions were a bit bad, but the place we were going to was 120 km away from here and the weather forecast said it would be rainy that way. We set off thinking that if there was rain, there would be no snow on the roads. Indeed, after we had gone a little further, the road conditions improved. We were driving along the postcard-like landscapes of Bulgaria. Before going to the car we were going to look at first, we went into a gallery we saw on the road to get an idea. It was a pretty big gallery. As you can see, this is how it is in places where cars are sold in Bulgaria, my friends. And yes, we came to the car that we looked at online and liked and that was at the top of our list. The car is a 2015 Honda CRV, my friends. And right now, you're watching me do my first inspections of the car. I'm checking the spots inside the wicks. After our first inspections, we go for a test drive with my father in the lead, driven by our salesman. The seller is Bulgarian by the way, he doesn't know Turkish. Since we saw my car on the screen, our test drive is over. We came back to the showroom, you see the cars on the guy, friends, he generally sells premium segment Mercedes, BMW, Audi, those kinds of cars. // The advertised price of the car was 26 thousand leva. As a result of the bargaining we made, we reduced it by 1500 leva and agreed on 24500 leva. This is not our topic, but for those who are curious, let me state that 1 euro is equal to 2 leva, friends, this is a constant in Bulgaria, it never changes. So when we divide 26,500 by 2, the car came to us for 12,250 euros. Friends who are curious about the Turkish lira value can convert it here. We came to the parking lot of the Kırcali traffic branch office. There is no notary here for the sale, friends, all the transactions take place in the traffic branch. The traffic branch bu
