You can buy a 2011 Leaf for about 3 grand. Sure, the battery is probably toast, but replace it for 5 grand, you're still well under 10, and now you have 100 miles of range and a car with the only wearable item brand new.
Sadly, Nissan has jacked up the price of battery replacement to I think 8k now, which turns my car into scrap in 5 years unless a third party steps in.
