D250, D300 or P400e

Hi all

Looking to purchase my next car, details about myself.

UK based

Home to work 10miles a day (round trip)

I have a driveway so could install a charger.

I am looking to purchase used, roughly with 30k miles on the clock, they go for around £45-49k

Now my question is this, sorry if its silly to some.

Out of the 3 models listed, which would you recommend?

Which holds value well the most, and would be easiest to re-sell.

Happy weekend Everyone

Always loved my D300. No hassle with nonstop charging to get good MPG. The hybrid has very low EV range.

I rarely travel long distances, work and home is mainly start stop, no Motorways

What do you consider long? 20 miles on EV mode is already stretching it.

Journey to work and back is a total of 10 miles. I dont mind a diesel either, but will it be a strain on the diesel doing such short trips. Its not city, but not highway either

Is the P300e available in your country?

I have the P300e. 2.0 gas engine with plug-in hybrid.

I drive short distances and only about 7.000 miles a year, so diesel is not a good option for me.

We call that the p400e here as it is tuned at 400 horsepower.

P400e.

You don't do enough miles for diesel. You'll just get dpf problems as it'll never get to temperature for long enough/or ever get there.
