Search shows 169 new cars for sale under $10k. Mirage, Versa and Sparks. All those cars have alot more parts and metal go in, and more costly to make.

Spider is a bad example, b/c it uses motorcycle parts (suspension, brakes, everything), Rotax engine and it isn't really mass-produced.

I'll bet for $6,800 you will be getting a real stripper with 5MT.
169 cars nation wide for $10,000 sort for proves my point as "loss leaders". I bet a few are demos or have some cosmetic blemishes they won't fix as well. Those dealers are just trying to get somebody in the door to upsell, if they lose $1000 on the one or 2 $10,000 cars they have no biggie.
