  • 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.

    Apparently scrap yards in the US are now filling up with very lightly damaged EV's that no one wants to repair.

    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'.
  • @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.

    You're not buying an electric car, you're buying a really expensive battery that's attached to some car bits.

    The government says we have to drive electric cars yet they themselves drive V8 Range Rovers.

    I’d rather buy a house for £120k, and drive around in a 10k car.
  • 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.

    There cannot be another car of any make that has depreciated so much in such a short time..The Taycan is a beautiful car it must be a pleasure to drive.. but the losses are just horrific.. Quentin Wilson is a w⚓️ and part of the EV agenda..
  • @marktracey2088
    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!
  • I won’t ever be getting an EV, not in the least Interested in them. Too old anyway!
  • @robertwalker1742
    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.

    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!

    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.

    It would be worth buying at the devalued price. What a bargain
