Currently have an 06 Civic. It's been a good servant and tbh if I put about a grand into it would probably go a while longer but it chugs even after a spark plug change and burns oil like mad also everything inside is old and doesn't work properly. A few other things wrong with it also. I'm looking to get a new car and having just bought a house last year we don't have enough savings to buy outright so will have to finance it.
To get something decent petrol you'd have to be spending 8-10k which is 45e a week with the CU. I currently put about 45-50e a week Petrol into the car so have been looking in to getting an electric car. I can get a 2021 Peugeot e-208 for about 17,000 which would cost me 80e a week in the CU. But I wouldn't be spending 50 a week on petrol instead from what I can gather it would be about 8-9e a week on electricity. Plus cheaper tax, insurance maintenance..
Am I an idiot whos just talking himself into a nice car or am I talking sense here?
