  • You could literally sell the battery to someone for more than you could sell the whole car for … lol

    My 19yr old Honda FRV 2.2 Diesel still going strong. I paid £1600 for it 2yrs ago and put over 30,000 on the clock with countless trips from the North West to Gatwick and Heathrow. I have just been offered £2000 cash for it. Save the planet, drive an old car.

    I wouldn’t touch a second hand ebike let alone car.

    You're not buying an electric car, you're buying a really expensive battery that's attached to some car bits.
  • @SYN_Skydance
    You paid £120k for a car that had a starting price of £83,500. Only the £5k you spent on the bigger battery will have added value. The other £30k of extras were for your luxury and can be pretty much written off in any second-hand value quotation.

    Why do Governments in every Western Democracy think they know better than the free market.What a ridiculous regulation to impose on car dealers ,'one in five cars sold has to electric'.
  • @iainw5081
    Apparently scrap yards in the US are now filling up with very lightly damaged EV's that no one wants to repair.

    I sold my car to We Buy Any Car. It was the girl's last day working for them and she said she should have taken hundreds off the quoted price but said 'f**k them' and gave me full whack!

    You've done us all such a huge favour having to rough it in a Porsche for the last few years, just so that you can inform us about how bad it is. Despite reaching rock bottom with it. You continue to suffer so that the rest of us don't have to. What a legend!
  • Electric cars the truth. . .. I'm fed up of comments from people ridiculing EVs. They don't know what they're talking about. Personally, I drive two top of the range EVs, a Jaguar and a Porsche Their acceleration and handling is fantastic. They look brilliant and they're really cheap to run. They need hardly any maintenance and haven't depreciated since I bought them. Literally the only criticism I could make of them is sometimes, if I really push them into a corner, they can fly off the track and get stuck under the sofa...

    The government says we have to drive electric cars yet they themselves drive V8 Range Rovers.
  • @zaccat693
    It would be worth buying at the devalued price. What a bargain
  • @pstanyer1
    But with all the revenue from YouTube you can now afford the 911 petrol. So it has a definite upside
  • Have u read about he man in Scotland, who took Audi to court for the car not fit for purpose due to the miles been so much less than tools by salesman.

    How about this for depreciation, from New Zealand. Bought a Toyota Starlet for the wife 23 years ago, for $2500. She learned to drive in it, and we drove around 100,000 km. until someone smashed into the rear, 11 years ago.. The other drivers insurance company offered us $1500 as a right-off. Checked and that year and model were selling for more, and after taking them to the small claims tribunal ended up with $2950. Bought a 1994 Corolla for $3000, and still driving it today. If I sold it tomorrow I'd expect to get over $2000. A few years ago I had to replace a battery. Really expensive. Around $150.
  • @rogerfroud300
    You were happy to spend that crazy amount of money on the Porsche, so just keep it and use it until it's not viable to keep it any more. There's no point in selling it and taking a huge hit.
  • I’m watching this video on the Greek island of Thassos. We drove here on gloriously empty roads from Bulgaria and, so far, the percentage of EVs we’ve seen is less than 5%. Motorbikes, scooters and internal combustion engined vehicles still rule the roost here and long May that continue.
