Ignore the "electric car" part. Regardless of how long the battery may or may not last, and the true fact that they have fewer moving parts, its still expensive to fix, and you are still looking at a car that was driven 40k miles a year for 3 years.You’re right, I wouldn’t buy a car w that many miles but I thought electric cars were the superior that’s why I figured I would make the exception but I’m not so sure now
No idea what the condition is like I would assume good since it’s a 2019, it was used as a taxi last owned in NY, no accidents, 17 servicesWhat condition is it in?
Clean Title?
Accident History?
Service history?
Is it worth buying a model 3 2019 Tesla if it’s had one owner and has 114k miles on it being sold for $28k
What would be the reason? Does the vehicle depreciate and more faults occur if bought w that many miles? I heard the batteries last 300k-500k I don’t drive more than 15k a yearA car that is 2.5 - 3 years old, and was driven almost 40k miles a year? I have definitely bought used cars with that amount of mileage on them in my life, but that was out of necessity (at that time, I couldnt afford anything better, with lower miles).
I would say "no, there are any number of cars that would be about the same price new, including some hybrids, etc".

You’re right, I wouldn’t buy a car w that many miles but I thought electric cars were the superior that’s why I figured I would make the exception but I’m not so sure nowWhat do you mean "What would be the reason?" Its a car with over 100k miles on it put on in 3 years. Ignore "but it has a battery". Would you pay 28k for any other brand used car that was 3 years old and 114k miles? If so, go for it. I wouldnt, but im not you.
I’m tryna see if the car looks good and I’m asking for photos currently still viewing my optionsBy Zeus's Beard that interior must be disgusting
An electric car is still a car. Plenty of other mechanical parts that wear and tear, electronics that fail, interior parts that absorb *fluids*You’re right, I wouldn’t buy a car w that many miles but I thought electric cars were the superior that’s why I figured I would make the exception but I’m not so sure now

Yes I lived in NY my whole life, dirty cityHave you ever driven on NY roads? 100k miles as NY taxi is like 2 lifetimes of driving for any other car
Assumption is the mother of all F ups.No idea what the condition is like I would assume good since it’s a 2019, it was used as a taxi last owned in NY, no accidents, 17 services
40k city taxi (or rideshare) miles per year is pretty hard miles, unlike 40k highway miles per year that is fairly common for high mileage per year cars, like many of the multi hundreds of thousands of mile or million mile cars.it was used as a taxi last owned in NY, no accidents, 17 services
I drive in NY and we have 500k on a 2007 Prius and 245k on a 2017 Prius Prime (not a taxi driver). We are in a suburb.Have you ever driven on NY roads? 100k miles as NY taxi is like 2 lifetimes of driving for any other car. I’d rather buy a used ICE car lol
It is an interesting contradiction I must admit. Most people on the forum would tell you that EVs are more reliable and should run forever but 90% of them dump their cars at 50k miles when the bumper to bumper warranty is up…You’re right, I wouldn’t buy a car w that many miles but I thought electric cars were the superior that’s why I figured I would make the exception but I’m not so sure now
If my budget was $28k and I wanted an EV I’d get a Chevy Bolt. They are practically giving them away. The downside is slow DC charging, a dying platform, and it looks like a roller skate… but after tax rebates it should be close to $20k starting jan1 when the tax credit changes. If you aren’t driving a lot of long distances it should be a solid car.
