Back in the day, Sly used a small mirror suze of a credit card and Torch to check.

Warm your tires up before stepping on it and avoid gravel 😂

The wait time with Nissan could be months.

Its still needs inspections, oiling moving parts, making sure wheel hub, brakes, steering motors/racks are safe. All that takes time to check. The myth going around is its maintenance free. Its still mechanical and requires servicing. @illogikal Witholding of software updates fair enough, sure but you can have them at a cost? Swipe here please!

Save 2k on a 30k import. Car must be manufactured in Japan. 2032 is when youd no longer pay VAT on the earliest 2022 MY

Unfortunately there arent enough "indies" looking after EVs out there compared to ICE. I guess everyone answers to the dealers. We take for granted sometimes what goes into "indies" and the aftermarket. There are a few companies out there that service, restore, refit, retrofit and deal with EVs. But not sure how specialist they are like your BMW/Porsche specialists. Not sure how far they'll go with EVs. JDM level of aftermarket for EVs. Cant see it. But can see a few indies saying we,ll service it, take a look and replace the battery. But we cant get all the software updates.

This is why you need a trusted long term dealer. Software updates should usually be over the air unless its one of the Chinese manufacturers who haven't got their act together. A raid through the pad to check all systems operating normally 1 hour maybe as well as Installing updates and oiling moving parts 1 hour plus. Test drive and suspension, brakes, tyres check 1 hour. Average stealer charges £100 per hour labour. Unfortunately unless you have a service pack of 3 to 5 years which some do offer or discounted servicing its not suprising. If you have OTA updates then shouldn't be much to do in the way of software unless something needs fixing. He needs to request a breakdown of charges. I suppose they can make those up.

At least you didnt have a member of the public repeating "its clean, its clean" 😂. Great work.

Seems low these insurance offers. GAP insurance seems a way forward for when the worst happens. Not sure if its valid after owning the car for around 10-20 years. Would GAP pay out. Might be worth looking at for 350Z owners.

Still a tad bit pricey door to door. for a 2024 with low miles and Sport or Touring spec seems decent compared to the competition. Just that VAT....once its 10 years old no more VAT....Theyll be 20k by then lol
