What do we think?
I think the ZS EV has a lot of good things going for it and I am considering an outright purchase of a nearly new one, these are in the £18k range.
The thing about cars is, however, as always, as if it is ever going to be different; depreciation.
What cost on depreciation on a ZS EV do we think?
I was marginally astonished that my Soul still had a market sale value of £15k or so after I had leased it for 2 years, they were on offer for £20~21k at the time. But that was about right based on what I had paid in lease costs.
ZS EV can be had on lease for ~£10k over 4 years, so will it be worth more or less than £8k in 4 years time, or about right?
I am not doing many miles these days and destined to do even less. 5k will do me these days, which makes an old Bentley attractive as it will depreciate less than the fuel costs, even at 'several' mpg.
Not sure where to go these days, car wise, as I am heading to a point where I would 'like' a car but, really, honestly, don't need one beyond the wheelchair van I am using at the moment (for my son).
So help me out; low miles in the future, will ZS EV work out financially sound, taking in to account depreciation?
