e-Trons are definitely among the best deals right now in used EVs, but it's down to a confluence of factors specific to that car: 1. It had fairly good charging, but only so-so range. 250 miles seems to be a big psychological barrier for a lot of people and the e-Tron is on the wrong side of that line. 2. It's a luxury car and should be expected to have luxury car depreciation as a baseline 3. It's a luxury car with luxury car maintenance costs 4. It's a luxury car that had (maybe has) some reliability issues which incur luxury car repair costs 5. Audi had very good lease deals when they were new ("trunk money" was a common phrase) 6. Fuel economy is fairly bad when compared to anything other than an EV pickup All these combine to make it a used car that only appeals to a very specific buyer. | ||

True but the range isn’t really outside of the average range and luxury cars aren’t that uncommon. The deals were because they were high priced but don’t nearly account for the difference. 125k msrp now going for 55k with low miles is really something else, even if people got them for 105 or so which is what I heard, that’s still the 60% I mentioned. |
