About this deal
Fantastic price!
What car target price for this car is £26840
The 39kWh battery version has a perfectly respectable 0-62mph time of around eight seconds. Officially the range is 168 miles on a full charge, but in our Real Range testing we managed just 128 miles
The entry-level 39kWh Leaf still makes sense if you’re on a budget because it is a fairly large EV that’s reasonable to drive, well equipped, and easy to live with

sorted by1. Second hand market for EVs. This is where the deals are and there are cars with better battery technology and range for less than this car used and also aren't high mileage. Kona, e-Niro 64kWh for example.
2. The battery system on this car isn't cooled. This has two problems. Excessive battery wear compared to superior competitors 1st / 2nd gen iONIQ for example which have excellent battery health at 100K miles. Successive charging on longer trips. The 2nd and/or 3rd time you charge on the longer trip the charging will throttle.
3. I know I said 2 but look at how much these are used.
Also use AT Price Tracker extension on Firefox browser and you'll see the pricing history on Autotrader. Just a quick example. It's it murder on the second hand market for EVs. Used is definitely where it is at.
Absolute destruction on the used market. If you buy new you honestly hate money. iONIQ 5 for £22K now and low mileage. Utter destruction. You are getting wrecked buying new. Stay away from new.

I’ve owned a BMW i3 now for over 6yrs. In that time maintenance has been next to nothing. Tiny service every 2yrs for about £70, change of tyres once.
I’m on a cheap overnight leccy rate with Ocotpus which is when I charge (home 7KW ac charger installed). Costs peanuts compared to petrol/diesel.
for the same cost of 1 litre of fuel i get around 70miles in the winter and 80 in the summer, so equivalent 315-360mpg cost-wise.
Most of my daily journeys (95%) are around 30 miles total so I charge approx every 2-3 days.
i have saved over £10k in 6yrs on fuel costs, insurance, tax (zero) & maintenance compared to my previous petrol car which was economical.
You wanna travel further than the cars range & don’t want to use the charging network, then hire a car for the day(s). What you save over a year of 95% driving will far far outweigh the cost of hiring a car. I save around £2k/yr, so a car hire of £50/day if needed still leaves me way better off. I’d never go back to ICE, and the ‘you need 700 miles of range, and a full charge in under 30 mins’ brigade are extremely short sighted.
r/BMWi3 has a lot of info on which models to avoid and which to buy. They say 2017 and later but some people say 2019 and later. Early cheap ones I would definitely avoid. I would also use Wisely Automotive as they are i3 specialists although they don't have m/any currently as once they get them they sell.
No brainer to chose the iONIQ over the Leaf. Better efficiency (better range), better charging, better battery longevity Has BLIS, Adaptive Cruise, Reversing cam. Android Auto / Apple Carplay. All the stuff you really need.

Trust Nissan.
BMW i3 is also cheap and an excellent drivers car, really highly rated for this. But it has BMW repair costs so really you need a 2019 and above as some of the common vastly expensive costs have been fixed on those models. Such as drive motor mount failure, drive train failure, air con failure (also very bad as it cools the battery system. If it fails it screws up the whole system at very high cost). Wisely Automotive are the i3 experts buy from them if you want one. The i3S is also very good. But you buy it for fun driving at the risk of getting totalled on repair costs.
For me not electric car now
Decided to extend the lease for another year.
When I look at the used proces now, I must have saved a fortune in depreciation by leasing.
The EV used market is a partial correction from the pandemic inflated pricing due to parts supply chain/logistic issues and also a stagnation in the general public wanting to buy them. They are an absolute no brainer if you can charge from home.
