Do dealerships not negotiate on used cars any more?

You probably don't spend a huge amount on fuel anyway, and the added complexity of the battery system when it goes wrong may not be worth the saving.

330e on that mileage could make your fuel bill zero tho.

That's part of my dilemma. If I have the car for four years...will the battery be OK..? It's a 69 plate so it's had a few years of use already.

How far away is Leeds from you?
If the car has the spec you want and is priced within your budget a couple of hundred miles should not be an issue.

200 miles. It's a 4 hour train journey, which I'm prepared to do.
 
How does insurance on 330e versus 320i compare,

strangely seem more 330SE pro than 320i SE (ie.non-M's I 'm looking for) and some pros have part leather whatever that is (assume it doesn't mean part alcantara which is great)

must have been some kind of non-premium/40K tax on some pro's - haven't looked it up on dvla.

I think it's virtually the same. I was seeing around £550-600 p.a. My current car was about £550, which is far more than I'd like to pay but at least it isn't jumping!
 
I've secured the 330e in Leeds! I hope to be going up there on Wednesday, either in my car for p/x, or on the train. Either way, I'm pretty excited.

I don't know how, but the tax is £180.

I'll post a link later, but it looks badass. Quite frankly, I may remove the body kit that's on it and get some cash for that instead. I'd rather be a little stealthy about how quick it is, and I'd rather not have it look like a dick extension.

If it's the car at Stratstone Leeds, it looks like an aftermarket kit to me


Even if it's a genuine version, I cant imagine you'd get much back for it second hand.


Haha it is that one. I'm glad someone else paid £550 for it! I could probably get £100 or something on Facebook Marketplace.

Actually, it doesn't seem to have the rear thing.

This is the car:

Confusingly, they quoted the price over the phone as £19,900 and I have it by email, so I'm running with that.

Because that's all that matters?

I'd not hesitate to spend the extra on this one:


For the most part, yes. That's a nice one.
 
I’ve secured a new car. They are putting on four brand new tyres.

It’s a 330e M Sport with about 56k miles on it for £19.9k from Brighton. It’s white (unfortunately) with black leather interior with contrast stitching.

I wasn’t keen on the white but the M Sport makes it look nicer.

Going there on Friday to pick it up. They’re taking my car p/x so it’ll be about £265 per month, which is less than I’m paying now.
