>Is this real? In Europe you can get a Fiat Panda, brand new, for 9k€. Smallish engine, barebones interior, but overall a pretty decent car. Mitsubishi Mirage and other ~15k hatches fly off the (metaphorical) shelves. Just not in the kinds of neighborhoods HN tends to live in. Also HN's househeeper tends to buy a used Corrolla (or some other hallmark of upper middle class conspicuous consumption) from one of their clients so HN doesn't have that sort of exposure vector either.
