Sounds expensive if buying privately for example. If itâs being bought from a Dealer with Warranty then maybe not so bad if itâs an Irish Car with proper history to confirm such low mileage.
I know nothing about cars. And Iâm sure everyone has their own experiences but I had an Outlander PHEV (second hand) that gave up, they wanted 20k to repair and refused to negotiate on anything when it was a month or so out of warranty. They wouldnât even guarantee the repair.
Just found Mitsubishi to be assholes (the head office, not the dealers).
Anyway doubt itâs relevant to you but just thought Iâd share.
Iâll find out the name of the part but basically the computer piece that controls which motor is running. And you can get a second hand one for a few hundred euro but they need to be paired to serial number on engine to work or something and they wonât do it for a second hand part and the new part was ÂŁ14k GBP plus vat I think. And then labour etc.
Nothing else apparently wrong but it canât decide which engine to run off and so wonât start. I donât really believe that thereâs not a cheaper way of fixing it but Iâve been arguing for nearly 2 years at this point and just bored of it all.
Also Iâm sure you know this but the EU are in the process of taking a more aggressive stance towards PHEVs. Might just affect new sales but they may increase taxes etc to discourage them.
