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

Most EVs have an 8 year battery warranty and presumably the Taycan too. But the general manufacturers warranty is gone. And that would worry me on a Taycan, they have lots of issues. But yes a warranty from a reputable dealer would help as I said

The spec wouldn't bother me all that much. Lots of extremely expensive stuff that would only make it onto my "nice to have" list, I'd never pay extra for them

It's steel suspension, so nothing super expensive there and it has a long NCT. But yes would be wise to get the car on a ramp to check out, could have done huge mileage since last NCT. But at 330k km, I guess a lot of suspension work has already been done, depending on what way the car was driven. Could have to be done again though if it has had a rough life!

Free supercharging is worth very little to most owners

I agree the interior is a let down. My own has the white interior and it looks and makes the car feel many years younger / fresher

13 months left

And we know the facelift batteries were well sealed, they do not have any common issues and we are now well over 8 years into the facelift cars

Interestingly here is what's involved in a pre-facelift battery refurbishment they claim they do it exactly the way Tesla do it, using the same OEM parts. Note, none of the batteries (over 8000 of them) had any problems, just a few logic boards. Very bad rust and water ingress though. After I don't know, about 10 years and 400k km already, in what must be one of the toughest conditions a car can be in, in the world (Norway). Now good for another, who knows, 10 years or so, although obviously range will slowly decrease. After 20 years it might have 70% or so of range when it was new, maybe less LOL if it will have done the guts of a million km at that stage 😂

You sure that one's been for sale for ages, I haven't seen it before. But yeah I concede that's a much better bargain than the one I posted 😁

I know this one has been for sale for ages, maybe about 6-7 months now. I know people who went to see it and it's alright but a bit rough

We've seen some for under €30k already

Big battery first edition ones. So sorry yeah that would have been 2021 cars I think.

Be careful with any ID.4 though and go in knowing full well these cars can have major issues. That's apart from the brutal software. My neigbour just got one (232) and it has already been back to VW all week this week with all sorts of strange electrical problems. Window didn't go back up again and when the press pretty much any button, the wiper comes on.
