The car models varied a lot, and there was a serious pressure to buy insurance... The car cost less than 3000 RMB, but the insurance was 1200 euros... Unbelievable! They said it was unsafe without insurance and that I could end up paying more if the car got damaged. Both sides had limited English proficiency, so that was the best I could do. Later, my Italian friend said their annual insurance costs were no more than that... Well, just consider it as buying peace of mind in this mafia-like place.
