In France they start at about €800, or €500 when they're on offer.

Depending where you live, how much paperwork you can cope with and how much you earn, the government will give you up to 50% of the purchase price back.

Most of the cost of a used car comes after you purchase it, though : )

Very true! French cars are certainly no exception to that rule :-)

It varies by metropole. Here in Nice it seems straightforward.
