None of this is financially or logistically practical.

The price of the car, the battery lease cost, the finance cost, or the ability to own it and charge it reliably.

My strong advice is to keep your current Clio.

Though i'm repaying 2015 petrol clio 185 per month- +50 months to complete as was over 60 months.

Which is why previous number's are very comparible.

Though P.N.E. is gone reserved by other's last night.

Costs are from 10998 approx. which does exceed my budget once battery is added.

I have seen one in 10 min drive via auto trader, similar Zoey 2016 (16) reg.
28.6kmiles
leased battery.

8890, though I'd need to sell my own car and repay 5.2k if it's achievable.

I picked up 2-yr old a battery owned 22kWh Zoe, which had barely any miles on (<100 miles) for my mother in law a few years ago for £8,000.

£9,000 for a a 5yr old lease model with nearly 30k miles on is not a good price.

I've no doubt listed prices are part made up of my recent EV impatience. Undoubtedly costs will drop from following years. 2 year old Zoey's are high 20's k range. Nice example appreciate. I'm trying to achieve mid 200's per month if possible including battery lease if required. 1st time I'm seriously considering u.k. wide distances via www.sites. thanks

The newer Zoe's (there is no y) are very different to the older generations, so that's why they are around the £20k mark. The new ZE50 is a 52kWh battery with a real world range of 180-200, and whilst an option on the earlier models, can be equipped with DC rapid charging (albeit CCS capped at 50kW).

The older generation are much more limited and this was reflected in their heavily discounted price. A battery owned 22kW brand new in 2016 could have been had for around £12k.

They're called Zoes (no apostrophe). Otherwise I agree. 

EVs with small batteries are very limited in comparison to the latest generation. Personally I wouldn't want less than a 50kWh battery. The increased flexibility means you don't really need to think about range very often.

thanks maybe range isn't as quite a concern with m.s and w.f.h. 
only short shopping drives, though can be called on site i guess.

E.V's being Auto's could be Plus point.

Requesting to talk over this 2015 tomorrow.
 
65kW i Dynamique Nav 22kWh 5dr Auto
23950 approx miles.

Lower end of recent repayment examples <210 over 60 months.

Basing this on assumption that 'i'' hopefully means it's a owned Battery.

500 personal deposit
500 dealer deposit.
2015 plate
12498.

thanks

You don't seem to be listening so im not going to waste any more of my time telling you that's overpriced and you might struggle with charging it reliably.

Good luck.

They're both the same link - and it shows as reserved.

And you don't seem to be listening - even though you quoted the post telling you this. 🙄

The only way to know for sure is to ask the Dealer for the exact, correct answer.

Others have commented on the reasonableness of the price.

I wouldn't even trust them. Best bet is to ring Renault finance (RCI) and give them the reg number.

Dr Eskimo is the one who knows the car.  I should listen to what he says.  Unless you have an urgent need to change your car, I don't see any advantage in doing so.  So the value of your car might go down when things normalise, but it is likely that so will the prices of what you buy.  The only advantage to selling what you have now is if there is a second car at home you can use until there is more choice on the market and you pocket the equity you otherwise wouldn't have.
