Brutal depreciation… but also a really great market for used EV buyers.

    I want an all-wheel drive electric vehicle that isn’t a hatchback and I don’t know where the fuck else I’m going to get it besides an ioniq 6 lol.

    I might have to budge on the hatchback thing God I fucking hate those things. I miss when we had what I traditionally think of as a car.

      I test drove one… They’re really really nice!

      Personally, the used market has collapsed, but that’s also sort of a good thing if you’re shopping used.

        I’m just mortified of every step of buying a vehicle.

        I have to get rid of the old one, I have to be without car for an indeterminate amount of time (I have a vehicle I can borrow, which is a luxury most people don’t have!) I have to decide on a new car and commit to paying off a fucktillion dollar loan, which, ugh. Because saving up for a car to make a purchase in cash would take over a year… If I saved every cent I made to put towards the purchase and had no bills, hobbies or interests besides C A R.

          For me, it’s the social piece that gets me - I have to go get talked at by a series of increasingly greasier dudes until eventually I reach the apex greaseball and he tries to con me out of as much money as he can steal

          It’s a terrible system TBH XD
