The last car I bought for 10k€ (not less than, in fact it was probably closer to 11) was a Chevrolet Spark in 2011. I remember that for 9k€ you could buy a Hyundai that didn't even have electric windows, but everything else was above 10k€. Last year, with subsidies I replaced it with an electric Dacia Spring for 16k€. It is much better than the old one (slightly larger, obviously more silent, less TCO since I charge it at home) and yes, it was subsidized by the state, but a similar ICE car could be bought new for the same price and it would also be better than the 2011 car. It sums up to +25% in 12 years for a better product, which is not a lot.
