Which car shall i buy next?

[Lovelyjubly]

I have an old audi a3 petrol. Which I will sell end of the year.

Is it worth it to buy an electric car now instead of petrol and diesel?

Which care is at the cheap end under 4k?

A wise old man always told me, when buying a car only ever buy a German or Japanese car. The rest aren't really up to it.

I wouldn't personally buy a battery powered car. I'd stick to a petrol. Maybe if you have charging capabilities at home and do alot of local trips it might work for you.

Thanks but ain't the petrol and diesel cars on their way out? Plus all this environments charges tolls etc?

If your budget is 4k for your next car you aren't realistically going to get anything electric for that sort of budget, even the high mileage Nissan Leafs (circa 100k miles) are still holding at 5k

There are no EV's under £4k so that's not an option.

£4k will get you a decent petrol hatch.

Lots of choice out there. Yes the prices are a bit steep but then that's where we are.

Why are you recommending petrol over diesel??

[Zerosumgame]

How many miles a year do you do OP? Do you do lots of short journeys? If the answer is not many miles and lots of short journeys then that favours petrol
