I think there were some in soviet times. You could get away with a wrench and a hammer. Tho it was true to other Eastern Block cars especially for Trabants. But they were noisy, smelly, dirty, uncomfortable, with various level of reliability and questionable aesthetics.
Ofc those Zils or whatevers that were made for the top dogs could be counted as luxurious.
Now that cars contain more and more electric shit to control and regulate everything, culture of saving on the material and planned obsolescence become fashionable, the cars are more difficult to fix and less durable and reliable.
