$3500 in 1960 was close to the price of a Cadillac. My folks bought a 1060 Chevy Impala to take me away to College. I remember them saying it cost about $3k.That was a lot of engine, 283 V8, Hydromatic Tranny, upholstery and FINS!
I bought a used 1960 Olds 98 convertible, what a beautiful car for a young naval aviator, white with blue leather interior. I cost me around $3k in 1962. Thus, a Renault for $3500 sounds outrageous.
