This week's EV bargain that I'm not buying

Is there much difference between the UK and Irish first edition eNiros?
Any idea can they be changed from miles to km everywhere?

Both have the smaller screen, and i dont think either of them have high beam assist.
UK - Irish First versions
Electric seats - Manual seats
JBL speakers - Normal speakers
Normal pedals - Aluminium pedals
No battery heater - battery heater
Heat pump - No heat pump

I think i can change my dash between km and miles, I think Andrew Till (Mr Ev on youtube) switched his to km when driving in europe.

I know. I did just that earlier this year

Looked up the dimensions of the S, Would be a tight squeeze in the garage, But I have parked a discovery 2 in it
Also its not that big, just a bit smaller than the crew cab amorak that we have, that is a nice truck to drive, at 9-10l/100km....

Interesting side by side. Thanks.

If buying from the UK is in my cards I might shoot him a message.

Disco 2 is tiny, about the footprint of a modern saloon car. Amarok is much bigger but still a good bit less wide than a Model S. It's a big beast.

MCU replaced. Bit of a bargain that car and the biggest worry of buying privately is out of the way. Seems an honest ad, that damage on the front left wheel needs sorting though, even if you're not much of a perfectionist. I would try negotiate hard and get a bit more off. My aim would be GBP25k for this car.

A bargain for sure. Nice to see a 26 handle. May the trend continue.

I don't think it's much of a trend tbh

The car is white, private sale and in poor cosmetic condition. It's only natural that the Model S depreciates further as it gets older, but this seems pretty glacial. And with a no deal Brexit in just 3 months from today, the supply will completely dry up in this country, which will only mean one thing for second hand prices here.

I thought Unkel was talking about the bargain white Model S that was discussed last week?

Haha sorry lads, I'm mixing up a few cars here

And for the record, I'm no racist, although I do admit I much prefer a black car to a white car :pac:

Looks like I'm the racist. I don't like black, white, brown, red, yellow, orange or green cars.

See, I even covered little green men from Mars and Trump. Am I a bad person?

Silver? You ok with silver? What about blue? Are you a smurf supremacist?

Pre AP and look like poor specs.

2014 / S85 / 112,207 km

For the record it went for €30,500

I think there is another €2,440 buyers fee to be added.

They sell well so you aren't the only one.


Bit of a marmite colour I reckon, you either love it or hate it

I don't really care what colour a car is, you don't normally see it when driving..
But it is a practical colour and apparently safer.


I think it suits small cars better than large cars.

The sell well because they are cheap. It's usually the only "free" colour, a white paint (in some cars - not Teslas - a solid paint colour which is even worse). For any other colour you'd have to pay extra

Even I wasn't that tight not to pay the extra to upgrade to metallic paint when I bought my last car new :pac:

New ID.4 has no free paint option at the moment, very frustrating :mad:


Anyway, I'm wandering off topic

Surely one of the last 24 Leafs, not a great price for a 24 battery Leaf

Have never met the driver of a white or red car that wasn't a knacker or an asshole.

Considering white is cheaper, a hell of a lot of cars sold recently are white. On average, the white car drive is average.

Seems the people you meet might be knackers or assholes, rather than their car colour having anything to do with it.

Edit. Fyi, my car is white, and I realise my reply is me being a bit of an asshole. What colour is your car?
