Transit E Custom collapsing values?

[zedmtrappe]

Quite amazing to see low mileage '25 models now for sale at nigh on 50% off new price !

How is this possible - assuming they are all financed - I wonder who is taking the hit on these prices ?

Fortunately I'm in an area & have a use-case where an E Transit would be perfect - and these prices are looking extremely tempting..


Anyone got one / sold one / have any thoughts on this situation ?

We had one on test at work. It gets the claimed miles, untill you put anything in it.

Wasn’t much use tbh.

Because they're crap and no business wants them. (Light city use might work bit not much else)

Had a quick look and seems that most on AT are double cabs. Only get ~100 miles in cold UK weather motorway conditions apparently. I want a van to take my motorbike to places but also needs to be my full time car, I guess this doesn't work for it.

I’ve got one. Bought an ex demo for 23.5k plus vat.

It’s brilliant so far I do between 60-100 miles per day so works perfectly for me.

I do less work in the winter so shorter range won’t be an issue but currently it pretty much living up to its 205 range.

Very nice to drive as well.

That's great to hear - thanks for the feedback. And buying at approx 50% of new cost must help with your enjoyment of it !

Not sure about the majority being double cabs .. at least where I'm looking they are not..

But yeah - that's just it isn't it ( re your example) the ICE / PHEV Transit was never a niche vehicle - but the E-Transit very much is with it's extremely limited use-case...

Not only that but it is ( or should I say: was) crazy expensive .. will be interesting to see where values go from here ..

Here’s the efficiency for this morning so far started with a 95% charge.

Realistically, what are you looking at when travelling at 70mph?

[Patch1875]

At 70 it’s sits around 3.2kw/h. The limiter is set to about 75 mph I think but it’s rarely i get to stay at that speed for long.

I don’t carry a huge amount of weight probably about 300-400kg most of the time. Have it set to eco with climate on all the time.

It seems pretty good considering its size they have a heat pump as well so hopefully that helps in the winter.

As long as it stays reliable seems a bit of a bargain for what I need.
