@kmoreno I recently purchased a 2014 Toyota Auris SW (dog) with 82k km on the counter for 8k Eur (really great deal I know). I drive between 14 - 16km/year and I expect I will replace the car before the battery fails. I get an average mileage of about 1L for every 23km, a little more if I drive like a granny..
In terms of total costs, I don't know how road tax & insurance compare to your country but in the Netherlands its all rather expensive in my view. Car insurance (all risk) amounts to € 432/y - road tax equals € 684/y. Expected maintenance cost over a period of 10 years for a Toyota is around € 4500.
In other words, my total expenses over a decade for this car is about € 25k without petrol or periodic vehicle inspections. Petrol adds another € 11k. With inspections, tire replacements, liquid refills and a little mix of the unexpected, I'd estimate to spend around € 40k from the day I purchase it until the day I replace it.
I've not looking into Dacia, but seeing the comments it may well be worth it OP!
