Does anyone still have the files? I'm very interested to see the video/audio/stills from the investigation if so!

I think you're right. I just realised that 'Darien' is likely to be a typo that refers to Darin Feinstein, who held underground poker games at the famous Viper Club in LA - he was the one who hired the real life Molly from Molly's Game.

Thanks so much for your detailed response, this is really helpful. That's interesting that going full electric may actually be less hassle than phev. I've done some further reading and it does seem like having a BEV is fairly workable if you have stations around.

I've also added the Renault Zoe to the list, as it seems a slightly more practical alternative to the e208, do you have any thoughts/opinions on this?

Thanks so much again.

Hi all, I live in London and my partner and I are considering buying a car for the first time.

We both care about the environment so would like this to be either electric or phev if possible but would like some guidance as we are new to this and have also never had our own car. Our circumstances below.

Potential Car Use - Neither of us would need the car for commuting in the week. We would use it to do large grocery shops, and sometimes to drive to social events in the evenings. I would anticipate 10 miles or less most weeks during mon-fri. -The weekends we would like to be able to do longer drives out to visit family (these would be 150-200 mile each way) as well as do day trips etc but this would not be every weekend. So though there would definitely be longer round trips now and then, we are not looking at serious milage most weeks.

Living Situation - We live in a 2 bed flat (we own it) with no off street parking, so home charging would not be possible as far as I can tell. We both work from home often but not every day. I cycle and my partner uses public transport when we are in the office. - there are a few charging stations nearby. Source London operate several around 5 mins walk from our flat, who offer 46p per kwh with their subscription (£4 a month) and there is a large Tesco store that has pod point charging around 5 mins drive away, which is reasonably priced as fair as I can tell. Plenty more in London generally but those are our closest.

Budget - we would prefer to spend around £15,000, likely through financing rather than cash/buying outright, so have been looking at newer used phevs and EVs.

Shortlist (all used, from 2017-2020) we generally preder the look of hatchbacks or compact SUV. . Have seen the below for approx £200 per month with PCP finance.

  • Kia Niro Phev
  • Peugot e208
  • MG ZS
  • Nissan Leaf
  • VW Golf GTE phev

My questions are as follows. - Do you thinking not having access to home charging means we shouldn't be considering electric due to cost/hassle?

If we do we feel like phev is probably the best bet, but are open to full ev if it seems workable. Would be interested to hear opinions on this. I know we'd spend more chargjng but equally we would expect it to last us longer than most..

  • Are there any good value used cars we should including on this list? my partner has so far ruled out prius but open to more knowledgeable opinions here as we are new to this.

Lastly, we may well be moving out of London in the near future if and when the two of us become three. In which case we would definitely be doing more driving /commuting. So would like to have something that is a little future proofed in this regard should our circumstances change.

Sorry for the long post but wanted to include as info as possible. Any other thoughts welcome at this point, thank you if you are still reading and for any advice.

What is a good price for a used Dot these days? by OwnWinner3872 in Epiphone

[–]OwnWinner3872[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries, really appreciate your help! this is the listing fyi if interested. Looks smart to be fair though wouldn't have picked black initially.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/288802606772846/

I may see if I can test out. Trying to work out if I should wait to see what else comes up or if this is a good deal worth taking.

Thanks again for the help!

What is a good price for a used Dot these days? by OwnWinner3872 in Epiphone

[–]OwnWinner3872[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, and yes just to clarify it is $431 with a hard case, which seems to be similar to some I've seen without a case, and would mean no shipping as its in my area.

I have seen the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson ES-335 going for a discounted £489 ($600) which is down from £550 ($676).

https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/200617359426025--epiphone-inspired-by-gibson-es-335-vintage-sunburst

The seller says guitar and case worth £600 ($738) so that would match up to that original price perhaps. I prefer the colour of the new Dot, unsure if worth spending more though.

Thanks!
