Lots of choice under £10k now..

This would be my #1 mid-life crisis choice..

But I'd be slightly worried about it getting vandalised...

Doesn’t look like a mid life crisis to me, it looks like quite a sensible option.

 

Battery capacity display appears to be showing all 12 bars, so not bad for 160k miles!

Is this the cheapest ever EV that has a reg plate? As seen on Facebook. MOT expired May2024. Anyone know the history of this car? There can't be many in the UK.

 

Late night Friday night drunken ideas? 😃

 

There are a lot of deals for second hand EV's. However, if you can live with chademo "fast charging" it is hard to beat this one: 2024 Lexus UX 300e with the bigger battery (72.8kWh) with only 6000 miles for £20K.

It's showing reserved now.

 

I'd argue have a low mileage with likely no warranty (servicing probably no carried out on time) isn't ideal anyhow.

70-plate for £8995 seems like a better shot, as the 2021 was 33% more expensive and that £3,000 is a lot towards servicing, repairs, charging, MOT's etc.

I like the Ioniq, but there is a risk buying them without a warranty. I would at least want to see some evidence of annual services and all the recall/warranty work having been done. Not sure if a chain dealer like V12 is the best option for buying with that in mind. A private seller might actually be better in this case.

 

Average mileage for age.. but a good range for the price.
CHAdeMO DC charging means that the resale value might drop in the future.

The advert for the Lexus UX300e is incorrect, it is a 2021 / 71 reg plate so it won't be 72.8kWh version because this only came out in late 2023, it must be the original 54kWh version. A lot of reviews quote a real world range of around 150 miles for that version.

 

WOW - I knew that Tesla were unpopular now, but that's some serious depreciation!!

 

Somebody found out it had personally been driven by Elon! 🤣

I wonder how many people will phone up the dealer before they change the price to the £29,950 it would be. 😁

 

I'm still not buying it.

 

I dunno - just get some Xpeng badges to stick on it!
Nobody will notice the difference anyway

 

About the same price/age we are looking to spend right now but Chad no use on our routes.

 

Are Zoe ZE50 too much of a risk?
There are some real bargains out there..

Second one is better value as although double the mileage, it still has over a year left on the manufacturer’s warranty. Also it’s a higher trim model with CCS charging capability.

 

MG5 LR still holding its value..

Facelifted Trophy LR are starting to hit £10k now though.

 

"Free tesla supercharging for live (sic)...battery rebuild at june 2023 "

 

I'd be curious to know the battery SOH % at 150k miles on this LEAF..

.. and this one at 126k miles:

Still got 10/12 battery bars.. and a few dents!
[edit - appears to be SORN, and there are inconsistencies in the ad (interior doesn't match exterior]

From the 9th picture the format changes for all the interior shots and they are from a 2016> Tekna (based on the headunit), buyer beware!

 

Did see this yesterday at a garage wife was buying a different car at. Would be an ideal EV for me if I still needed a car. Cheers

Is there a reason i shouldn't pick up a cheap tesla (any model) 15k over a MG5? once i get rid of the leaf we own?

 

It depends if you like knobs or not.. or stalks for that matter.
£15k will get you a lot of different used EVs these days with a warranty and lots of range.
Kia for example - I paid £10k for my Soul 64kWh. Ugly as hell, but it's great value with 2 years of warranty remaining.
