There are a few S Class Mercs as well as the usual Micras going for under 3500.

Need more specifics OP.

After insurance and tax, that leaves you with €40 for the car and €10 for petrol to get it home.

Not being smart, that's the reality sadly.

Insurance and tax don't have to be paid up front for the whole year

I think a 1 litre car,small(easy to park etc) road tax not too high for old tax regime and reliable, I recommend a 2001 Toyota yaris ,cost 1000euro or more with low mileage, these are 4 cylinder,tough engine,less trouble than the newer 3 cylinder ones(2006).
