@cafcnick1992 'What's faster? The 0-60 time or the depreciation in value?' You had me worried there for a minute, so I checked online. You can get a used Inster (Long Range version) for around £21,400, which is only £600 less than I paid for a new one.
You can buy pre registered one's (long range) for about £18.5k (sub 100 miles) the last two 25 plates that went through auction (granted one wasn't the long range) went for under £13k. webuyanycar will effectively give you the trade CAP value, yours with 1000 miles books at about £14.2k. So It's almost done 35% in about 2 months if you paid £22k. And I suspect the £22k was heavily discounted (Hyundai are giving about 20% off straight away, some dealers will go further).
In 12 months the trade value will be sub £10k I'm afraid. It will slow but by three years I'd be amazed if it didn't book at sub £6k.
The auctions are literally full of secondhand electric cars that are simply not shifting even when heavily discounted. My advice to anyone would be to effectively lease one on a good deal if you want to go electric, do not buy a new electric car outright. There's basically very little market currently for electric cars once they are 2-3 years old.
Even worse are Hydrogen cars, fast way to lose 90% in a year!
PS, picked up the Mrs new car last Friday, a dirty petrol mild hybrid :-) BMW 1M Sport, at the weekend on a run did 59.4 to the gallon, I've never had a car do that!
I have a 2004 Fiat Panda 1.1 which I use to commute to and from work. Paid £500 for it, uses £50 of fuel a month and i literally don't care if someone drives into it. Car ownership at its best!
I have a Panda as well. Ideal car in London - cheap to run and easy to park. No idea why anyone wants a big car in London...
Does anyone have one of these, or a similar alternative?
I have an MG4 so happy to answer any questions you may have
Thanks for the offer.
Put a deposit down on a new MG4 Luxury today. Just need to sell my current car now and then I’ll be really excited about picking it up. It’s the first time in 22 years living in France (will now be on my 4th car) that I haven’t bought a Citroën.
