Thanks. New ones are in somewhat comparable prices, but used ones are at least half price on your market.

  Supply and demand as well as the local market factors. Poland is poorer than France so a €40K car in France is relatively cheaper than in Poland even if the PLN price is nothing more than a direct conversion. So fewer people buy new cars and they keep the longer hence the higher prices in the 2nd hand market. Also I don’t know if it’s still the case but Poland used to import 2nd hand cars from Western Europe so if that practice is still going on there is likely still a reseller premium on 2nd hand cars.

    Yup, that's likely the case. Same for importing western cars on a large scale. This will change soon in my opinion. New laws in EU pumping up norms that cars have to meet are pumping prices as well. Demand for new cars is rising, you wait several months for a car even if you don't desire custom spec. More and more people just don't want to deal with "used premium cars as the same price as shitty new ones". Prices went really up. This pumped up used cars prices as well. I see a trend in which a 1-3 year old cars are a bit more expensive then new ones in car shop, but... available. I'm still wondering if this will end up in something at least a bit positive. It would be nice to have significant new cars sales - we would be finally treated as a market that means something and is worth caring for.
