Looks sound enough..get it bought if you got your head set on 1 go for it.

I recon you should consider a transporter campervan instead though..get the kids away every weekend get about the place down to the coast etc..

I’m actually proud of my carbon footprint 20 year old 3.0 litre diesel, when I pop into the services at the Oxford turn off on the M40, and see the great big line of Tesla’s and the like sitting there

We have been ripped off big time with this electric car dream it’s going to die a certain death. I’d never have one, gay, feminine, typical divs car. If you had an emergency call for a serious family

I thought you had more sense than to be driving a range rover about 😂

I thought you'd be in an old series landy .. plodding around and easy fixed 

My daily ride for many years

I don’t know too much about EV’s, but they seem to be the new addition to the “white goods” like washing machines , driers, ‘fridge freezers, with “ built-in obsolescence “ .

When the battery degrades, its uneconomical to repair, so the whole car is scrapped.

I’ll stick with the petrol/diesel for as long as possible, I know enough about them to just about keep them going ! LOL !

Cheers.

That's the key point, when. Unless it fails, a battery should be good for hundreds of thousands of miles, waaay past the date a car is usually replaced. Battery life seems to be better than originally thought.
