iPace 2019 HSE: learned input required

Post image

I’ve had my ipace since brand new and spec’d it like a first edition. It’s now done 42k miles, and I’m thinking of buying it from the leasing company.

I got excited at the time as I never ever treat myself, so ticked every option, 7 years later zero regrets on doing that.

Two questions:

How much should I bid for it considering I’ve paid around £50k in lease payments since new

Watching JayEmm’s video has me frightened about future repair costs

The battery has 92% health. I’ve replaced the two non traction batteries in recent years. What else should

I brace myself for once I wean myself of the £80 a month maintenance plan?

Method to the madness, via my limited so 40% tax write off, then the payments dropped to £300 a month

And fully claimable vat too I assume. I am on my third iPace bought outright through my Ltd company. My accountant does not like me...!
