    People living in Central/Eastern Europe: 80%? Amateurs.

    I don’t know ANYONE who has a new car produced in last couple of years here in Poland. According to some statistic average age of car is 15.5 years here, in fact I drive 11 year old car myself. There’s just no way I am going to dump so much cash on a freaking car (and personally I’d rather buy some nice electric bicycle instead).

      481K new cars were sold in Poland in 2022, so it definitely happens. Sure, that’s 3 times fewer than in France (which has twice the population, though), but it’s far from “anyone”.

      And yes, I know you said you “don’t know” anyone who bought one, not that they don’t exist, but I take your meaning to be that it doesn’t happen/is very rare.
