Considering buying a used EV in 2025? Here's what to keep in mind!

Thank you for the review. I drove Tesla M3 perf for 5 years, I now drive a Taycan Turbo Cross Tursimo a Macan Turbo EV … All these cars are great and so much better than ICE cars. The used market is a real bargain to get very good car at very affordable price. I bought the Taycan Turbo at 50 % of the brand news sale price ! You get some car on immaculate condition for half the price it’s crazy !

@@arnaudcampion Exactly, the Taycan is great and now reasonably priced when used. The service and maintenance is pricey, though.

In the SUV segment there are still early days. And if it is not driving all wheels, forget it.

Are you comfortable owning a Q8 e-tron or Taycan out of warranty?

[@morten_hannesbo]

Sure, if I have owned the car for some time and it runs out of warranty, then fine. But buying a used EV without a warranty would not be my recommendation.

[@GraysonA]

@@morten_hannesbo That's a bummer, since it's just a 4 year 50k mile warranty and the cheap ones are out of warranty or don't have much left.

[@morten_hannesbo]

@ Can be, although some come with extended warranty or it can be purchased from the dealer.

@@morten_hannesbo It's sad that they need extended warranties. I have a Genesis GV60 which I don't plan to get extended warranty for. Hopefully it will be ok. I've never gotten extended warranties for my Lexus GS 350, Toyota Prius, Honda Pilot, etc.

@ The Genesis is built like a tank, you should be fine👍
