Well it was second hand. Ex-demo car.
It had done 156 miles.
I got it £6000 cheaper than new.


There is a £5000 gov subsidy. I mention this to annoy TurNiP


Ah, OK. So effectively you only paid £20k for a car that, in petrol form,
was £10k new before being discontinued four years ago.


So that's a difference in price that equals 90,000 miles worth of petrol.


At todays petrol prices. Also no road tax. For now anyway.


Insurance about *the same as a normal car.


And the person you hit doesn't hear you coming, so it's more humane.


and the meat tastes better....
