Looking at the original prices and adjusting for inflation it looks like the Fiat 500 and the 2CV were about $10000, and the Type 1 Beetle was around $15000. So $25k does seem rather high for a people’s car.

I’m not sure the prices I found (450k lira, 350k francs, and 4000 marks) are all correct though.

Take gasoline savings into account and it gets closer (see my sibling comment to yours).
