Looking to keep for 3 years minimum - nothing else convertible and hybrid And that i actually like out there! friends keep saying to hold back for the 2022/3 range of All electric cars, but tbh, i like that im not range - stressed with the hybrid system.

Just take the plunge - I'm on my second i8 and like you, couldn't think of anything with the looks, speed and economy. Besides which, I have relatives in Lincoln and I live in the SW so that journey just flies and is extremely comfortable. Sadly, were not currently allowed to do these trips at the moment!!

How much extra warranty did you manage to haggle for yours? The extended warranty is approx £1300 +/- a year from bmw customer service but 1 repair could easily cost that so absolutely worth it in my eyes! |

I am almost certainly going to take the plunge!. Im not even a fast driver but I love a convertible. My miles are low, about 5k a year ( we have other cars for running around ). Initially I looked at a Peugeot 2008E with 200ish miles electric only range. It really nice inside, drives nicley and the Gt version has the nice toys. But its not a convertible and at £34k new, and its residuals showing £14k at 3yrs old its a £20k cost over 3 years. I reckon the 2008 i8 roadster at £65k probably lose about the same over 3 years and me adding 15k miles to the already 5k its showing. so for the price of depreciation of a small Peugeot Electric people wagon, I could run an i8 instead albeit with slightly higher insurance and road tax. And have an awful lot more fun in a completely different kind of car. |
