Just checked it out on steam and it seems that it's micro transactions focuse. If it just was cosmetics it would have been ok, but since you can purchase vehicles it sounds like it's leaning towards "get the upper hand by paying money".

Anyone who have played the game that can tell if there's better cars to buy for real money than you can "earn" ingame?

I've finished all missions.

Honestly? It's fine. The game is worse than the crew 1 (the map is considerably smaller despite both depicting the US, and the upgrade system feels worthless), but I've never felt the need to pay to get anything, and beyond 1 pop up on login, I've never even looked or been made to look at the store. If you're after top performance in online races then probably most people in the top of the rankings paid to be there, but imo the crew 2 is simply not a good multiplayer competition game. For solo or coop, you'll outclass the bots most of the time, the challenge is against yourself.

so how is the coop in this game? Racing as a team? How does it work? My friendgroup is VERY coop focused and 1€ is peanuts.

It's not incredible. The crew 2 is overall a very okay game that didn't need to exist, they could have easily remastered the crew 1 and make a better game. The coop is basically you get to play through any race including most story related ones with members of your party and if someone from your party wins you all get the progression. This means nothing as progressing is generally quite easy since the bots usually have way worse cars than you because getting parts upgrades is easy. Also the story isn't anything to write home about, it's the now classic "influencer drives car good", unlike the crew 1 which at least tried.

so, what I'm hearing is: for the price of 1€ per head, makes an okay timewaster for friday night beer-fueled gaming for 40-something coop-folk.

Yeah that's about right
