I was just throwing numbers out there as an example. Your mileage may vary, of course. My point, though, was that the typical car buyer has enough experience with gasoline-powered cars to have at least a rough idea how to value used cars. With EVs, it’s more like a black box. Few really have a grasp of how long EV batteries will last or how much repairs/replacement will cost
I was just throwing numbers out there as an example. I get it, but the numbers for used cars have gone batsh*t crazy over the past couple of years. I think that it has something to do with the 35,000,000 illegal aliens living amongst us. I have seen 20-year-old beat up pickups with over 200,000 miles selling for $10,000 or more. It is crazy.
