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

What price would you go to for this ioniq? Car | Wilsons Auctions

Factor fees

Do you need the car, is it an investment. Mileage is shown in miles not km.

You probably want to stop at 7k euro if you want a bargain. Factor in fees, no test drive before buying.

The main risk with auctions is people use them to sell faulty / lemon cars, not that an ioniq gives much trouble but worst case may be motor/gearbox/reduction box noise indicating it's on its way out. A dodgy seller might put such a car into an auction.

Anyone want to try and get them down to €20k?

That vehicle is Ex Fleet, so company also saved on capital depreciation. I have seen car personally, good condition, same vehicle would be retailing at dealership for a few thousands more after a good clean. Guess if you mentioned Post on Boards seller will do discount 😉.

Going to call about this too, does anyone know what the situation is with getting a tow bar fitted ( https://www.mvg-ahk.de/en/Towbars-mvg/HYUNDAI/Kona/mvg-mvg-1/Set-comprising-detachable-towbar-and-vehicle-specific-electrical-kit.html?force_sid=ih5jfnem4gb2cbbhm7si2skeq8 ) . Is your insurance voided if there is no rated towing capacity ? ( Things like bringing the mower in for a service etc )

called... gone

Not meaning for us all to get our calculators out for a duel, but would it really be 11k savings?

In our house, the diesel costs about 9.5cent/km and 2.5cent/km for the EV home-charging only.

thats €9,500 versus €2500 for 100,000km, a saving of €7k. E&OE

8.2kW/100km seems very optimistic. What are you driving to do that? 30c/unit day rate is pretty good too.. Doesn't matter because you'd presumably aim to charge at night anyway.

But even at 20kW/100km, there are significant savings here because you're measuring over 100000km. Is that a multi-year saving?

Pretty heavy consumption for a diesel, 5 would be realistic IMO, I honestly cannot say what a 1ltr petrol kona would do per 100km, but I know your unlikely to drive one if your doing 33000km per year,

8.2 kw per 100 km? Hardly? more like 18 kwh

You need to factor in purchase price, in 2019, from memory 1 litre petrol was 22000, diesel 26000 and the ev 40000, which at the time seemed unjustifiable.

I am not going to work out the maths, but its down to the amount of km you do V depreciation V purchase price.

In such a scenario the petrol or diesel would work out better for me (12000km a year), the diesel would only cost me 1000 (5l/100km @ 1.80) in fuel for a year, but I would suffer clogged dpfs, so the petrol version with more costly fuel bill per year and a cheaper purchase price,

6.5L/100km ICE, 190w/KM for EV

I have my 1.6D for several years, lots of short, some medium and occasional long journey. Its 6.5L/100km, and does not drift too far up or down from that. My general excel entry for EV is 190w/KM. It might be slightly less, but what's the point in an EV if you don't occasionally blast the accelerator :-), and they do not perform well at motorway speeds (neither does ICE, but EV feels like efficiency drifts from optimum by a greater degree at higher speeds)

I've just realised that the sale price for the Ice kona would have been much lower so that needs to be factored in the savings

Nail on the head there, it takes quite a long time to make up the savings on the price difference of EV vs ICE which is often ignored when doing the calculations. While the next owners won't have to deal with the large depreciation, I assume it will be bigger than ICE once the battery begins to degrade substantially over the course of 10-15 years.

another one this evening, a 20 reg
