People who buy new are wild to me. I can afford a new car, or I could just buy a car that's only a few years old with low mileage and save a ton of money. Seems like a no brainer to me.
Well for an EV it might make sense. There just hasnt been a used market for them for a while.
What do you mean? The Nissan Leaf first came out in 2011, the original ones are probably 13 years old now. The Bolt was released in 2016.
the originals had terrible range right out the gate and have only gotten worse. practical electric cars aren't common on the used market since most of them are still with their first owners
