I drive a lot for work, easily 16-20k miles a year with my company reimbursing $650/mo+ gas expenses. Maintenance, repairs, upkeep and insurance is all my responsibility. Auto must be less than 5yrs old to quality.
So, do I look for a 17/18 Explorer, certified with 7yr/100k warranty for 30k-ish and stick to the 650/mo? Maybe an Evoque or some other 2-3yr old SUV and stay around that 30k budget or just suck it up and get the Y?
The Y would be more money obviously but it would be new and ideally I wouldn't be looking for another car in 2 years to stay under the 5yr old rule.
I'm in the Philadelphia suburbs, driving to all the suburbs, into the city and out to Reading and Lehigh Valley. I'm nervous about the range but there are plenty of chargers in my general area.
The new battery is something else I am very interested in since it will hopefully provide a little more range.
