This week's EV bargain that I'm not buying

Leaf, asking €3,995. I doubt the seller would say no to €3,500 cash
Linky
Both cables included so if your budget is tight, you could sell the granny cable separately for about €150 to shave a bit more off your initial outlay
I'll likely be in the market for a cheap EV in about a years time and this is exactly what I'd pick up for a second family car for local trips that will be cheaper to own and run than a petrol or diesel banger that someone gives you for free.0 -

What would the range be on this?0 -

Being there in front of the seller and pulling out an envelope of cash and saying I have €3500 here right now. You take it and I’ll take it.
The seller then has to weigh up the risk of saying no and waiting another day, week or month or longer for another buyer to come along and take the car.
If the seller is smart, they’ll know the car market, know when an offer is genuine and worth taking instead of waiting.
Exactly. The only tactic to get the car for less money than the seller would have otherwise accepted - short of putting a gun to their head

That's the catch. Was going to ask what catch was.
Means the SOH is in the range of 70 - 77.5%
If I go with 75%, that comes at roughly 19 kWh usable which is an equivalent of L24 with ~10% degradation.0 -
Is that price not a bit steep for a car with 2 bars gone?
I sold a 4 year old 24kWh with 1 bar gone for not much more than that 2 years ago.I know everything!
Just look back over the thread... its been for sale a while. Its been discussed before. I suggested he get it done
I originally priced this car after asking on the forum it's worth and it was valued at the time more than I'm asking for now even with 4 bars down. I got the software update (thanks KC) and regained 2 bars and reduced price by 500. I don't pretend to be an expert on pricing so that's why I asked for the advise. I reckon if I was in Dublin I'd have a better chance of selling.0 -

Yeah, last chance saloon for importing UK cars alright. Maybe you could get a good deal on a nearly new L40? Or do you want to move away from CHAdeMO?
I expect there'll be a general price jump in new cars as well, since a lot of our cars come from the UK and dealerships will have to fill out a ton of paperwork next year. No doubt they'll be happy to pass that cost along to us customers

Aside from paperwork anything manufactured in the UK will see import duty applied- so your Leaf will be quite a bit more expensive0 -

I do fancy the Ioniq, I was going to get a Classic when they came out but I am 100% never going to buy a car that does not have remote APP
Funny you say that. Not so sure what the added value is of a remote app for a second family car that is only used for local trips. Pre-heating? Can be done in Ioniq too, but only if the car is plugged in and only on schedule (not activated remotely)
Having an app would be just about the last item on a wish list for any car for me 0 -

Ah ok. Would it be that much bother to just remember to plug the car in during cold weather? And even at that, I hardly ever used pre-heating in Ioniq. Takes less than a minute for the 7kW heat pump to heat the cabin up. And how cold does it get in Ireland? 0
