When looking at a new vehicle for purchase. After deciding thats a potential,

I research insurance costs, VED, whether it has high maintenance costs, like expensive oil service and tyres.

Case in point, our friends have a BMW EV, it goes through tyres every 8k miles, due to aggressive geometry setup.

Despite being a nice car, I would not entertain buying a vehicle like that.

My missus used to munch through tyres on her BMW EV.

When I took it over tyres suddenly lasted 3 times longer.

Stopped at the Alvis dealer as they were showing a customer one of their cars . Looked terrific.
Not sure what Accy’ s budget is, but will it stretch to a large five number ? 😀😂

I've just sent the dealer my details, asking for a test drive in it. It'll be a day out if nothing else! I'll take some sandwiches, a flask of coffee and of course my daily banana! I've a feeling it might be too long for me to park etc and it might be hard for me to climb out of, but we'll give it a try!😉

Heck, I've just looked at the ad to see it's no longer available! The dealers sent me a reply yesterday inviting me test drive it, so it must've been sold after 11am when they sent their reply. Ah well on looking it up it was over 1.5 feet longer than my Fiat 500, so it'd be a pain to park in tight spaces, plus the long bonnet would be hard to negotiate with my one working eye, depth perception problem.
