The 23-year-old woman, identified only as Sabrina, was subjected to three years of horrifying abuse following the exchange in 2003 at a travellers' camp in Melun, outside Paris.
Her value was agreed at just under $1,000 with her parents also handing over cash to make up payment for the second-hand hatchback.
Franck Franoux, 58, and his partner Florence Carrasco, 56, forced her to live chained up in a filthy shed where she was routinely beaten, hired out for sex with other men and forced to look after their children, the Daily Mail
Her only escape was when she was dumped outside a Paris hospital after falling critically ill in 2006. Sabrina had lost all her teeth and weighed under 40kg. "She was in a deplorable physical and psychological state," Le Post online reported a police source as saying.
"She needed reconstructive operations on her nose and ears, which had been mutilated. "It took her a year to recover from her ordeal and she will bear the physical and mental scars all her life."
Sabrina's parents along with Franoux and Carrasco, are among eight men and six woman facing a raft of charges including human trafficking, rape, barbarism and torture. The trials are scheduled to run until December 17.
