According to you tube I should be looking at around 50% of the new price for a car that's around 2 years old. There should be a bunch of cars I'm looking at around the £20k mark but I'm not seeing them.
They are probably talking about trade in value not retail.

hah good one put it this way, sure, I'm not stopping them etc.The Hyundai dealer thinks hydrogen fuel will take over EVs within 2-3 years.
I know but when you start looking at other cars, and looking at the numbers, it makes you doubt what you need. The MG5 is on the slower side of all the better cars, is that going to be sufficient?You were thinking about the MG5 at first, so probably best just to think about that one and not try to stretch to something else if you don't actually need it.
Head over heart with this one would make sense to me.

I was looking at a 2nd hand tesla for a while... well at least until I ran an insurance quote. £1100 a year??? Guess I am going to be keeping my 16 year old car a while longer! If they want more people to move over to electric, they need to offer support to make it worthwhile.
Ive seen youtubers talk about the Audi e-tron. A £70k car now going for low £20k's. Its a really big car though, looks very nice inside but the range/efficiency won't be great.
Its insurance group 50. what do you expect?
They can be as fast as anything on the road and I imagine some people have found that out to their detriment, as such the insurance is priced accordingly.
It isn't impossible at all, you've just taken a very polarised approach. Run a 19 year old BMW 325i or get a nearly new EV.This is just so crap. Try and reduce my cost of motoring and/or risk of running an older car and its just impossible.
Yep - can imagine if I get my way with the E43 I am going to outraged at upgrade costs lol. Keep something long enough and it cost peanuts!It isn't impossible at all, you've just taken a very polarised approach. Run a 19 year old BMW 325i or get a nearly new EV.
There are countless used cars that sit between these options that will be more reliable, cost less to run and not cost you £20k to change into.

They seem to be the smaller cars. The Kona and niro are going to be too small for me.
I just had a wander round a car supermarket and a Hyundai dealer near me.
At the Hyundai dealer I saw the Ioniq 5 and the new Kona. The new Kona is a really good size, the boot is around the same size as the Ioniq but its a bit smaller in the back seats.
You'll get fuel savings on anything that costs less than 19ppm in fuel (your figures). As for the reliability risk you seem worried about, anything less premium and newer will mitigate that to a greater or lesser extent.Are there? The used market is awful. And any car that isn't an EV I don't get the fuel savings on.
Could you suggest something?
I may be wrong but I thought the rear seat base simply pulled out to give a flat load bay in the Kona when the back seats were folded.Looks like the boot in the new Kona is about the same size as the old eNiro - have you seen one of them in person yet? Definitely worth a look if not.
It does have the same problem as the MG5 with no flat folding seats though
