Thinking of getting one for £46k with a trade in £33k
Just not sure it’s a lot of cash but I can’t find anything else I like as much

Thanks for the replies
Should I be worried that motorway valued it £11k less than what it’s currently worth with the dealer right now?

But on other cars like an bmw i4 the valuation is only 4k less

It’s up for £35k with my part ex and they have given it a guaranteed future value in 4 years of £25k

However I’d probably pay cash

Just not sure

Thanks yes that’s pretty much where it is right now in terms of value

Is there a reason for them being bad at trade in?

Think I may pull the trigger

Not sure on dark blue or the special silver magneto colour

Why you want to waste your cash on an overpriced and outdated EV like an EQC that's not even been designed as an EV from the ground up and is merely some transition tech from MB that they rushed to market?
Coming out of a c class I can’t find anything else I like.

Not a fan of the Etron, can’t stand the Teslas - don’t like the I pace shape so this ticks the box.

I don’t need a massive 300+ range and got a deal for a 6 month old Premium Plus car for under £50k

Yeah so if I didn’t already have a normal 420d I would have gone for this.

But this will be a runabout for the wife mainly so school run and local trips so the 200 miles range is plenty

The only thing I would also consider is that 2020MY EQC's are already dropping below £30k with nominal mileages, so you could take quite a bath on it value wise for a runabout especially with it being an older model due for replacement?

WBAC valuation on a 72 plate Premium Plus with 4k miles is already <£30k. eek
Wow that’s some drop
It’s down from £75k to £50k in the first 6 months so I thought I was doing well…

She had her last car a Merc C350e for 6 years so would probably keep this for a similar amount of time.
No idea where the residual will end up &#129335;‍♂&#65039;

Was going to pay cash but maybe a PCP might be better with a GTFV ?
