    So two important questions tomorrow.
    is 'i' owned battery.
    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.
    I personally have never used RCI though did quick search from your recent RCI quote.
    Let me try dealership 1st.

    thanks

    Personally I would go and ask Renault themselves rather than Arnold Shark, but you picks your choices and takes your chances.

    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.  
    Valid points.

    My interest in EV's could allow me to move over from petrol soon and start to re pay EV rather than wait.
    There are No guarantees around this deal.

    thanks

    Not dismissing RCI, just never used them for finance.

    thanks anyway.

    Sorry I didn't mean to finance the car, I mean to check whether the car is battery owned or leased. They handle the battery lease agreements, so will be able to tell you.

    Apologies when I last googled RCI it suggested Renault Finance.

    Is there contact info to question Battery agreement.

    thanks

    Your "turn of phrase" is unusual - do you mean the Zoe you linked previously?
