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.
