Hello,
I am thinking of purchasing a used MB250e with about 18,000 miles on it. Private seller is asking $19K firm in California. Car has been services regularly, and MB dealer confirmed it. This would be my first luxury brand purchase. I typically buy and keep cars for about 8-10 years.
Here are my worries, it would be good to get thoughts from all of you on these.
1. Resale price of the car may be quite low after 5+ years as battery degrades, and newer EVs with longer ranges come up for sale.
2. If the battery degrades significantly after 5+ years, it is out of warranty and I am stuck with unknown costs. Does anyone know how much it would cost to replace the battery with a new one?
Thanks in advance for your time.
