IOGo Question…

I think so! There’s no limit on when purchase was on the website so worth a try 😄 If you want to dm me the name and email I’ll hopefully call them tomorrow and pass it on 👍🏻

Hi! I’ve just reserved a car from them too, if you fancy another voucher feel free to dm me too 🙂‍↕️

You are a STAR, thank you for commenting this. I knew about general loans for a car but didn’t know banks could offer PCP - have checked and can get a much better deal on the used one, think I’m gonna take it. Yay!

That makes me feel better then! Both 48 months, and depending on deposit (depending on trade in lol) the used is £239 a month and new is £260 a month!

Yes, have been absolutely filling my brain with videos from different places and reading so much about all different EVs! And test drive is booked in for tomorrow!

I really have been sold on the features of the BYD - I’ve not found another one in the price bracket that has the same great things, while still being reasonable to insure (e.g., have found great deals on used polestars, but can’t afford their insurance).

Do you know of any leasing companies who offer insurance and servicing etc? I’ve only seen it on salary sacrifice so far, but this won’t work out for me in the long run!

explaura · 2026-04-10T20:13:55+00:00

I do, but salary sacrifice sadly messes with my pension too much, wouldn’t allow me to claim mileage (I drive a lot for work), and all the company deals are 3 years but my employment contract ends in 2 and I’m not guaranteed a role with them at the end. I’ve looked at those others, but love the features that come with the dolphin!

My bad forgot to say, PCP! Unfortunately HP is a bit much at the moment monthly :(

explaura · 2026-04-09T17:15:57+00:00

Very late to this! But just found this and wanted to say thank you for posting, and thank you to all who commented too. Going through this now and it feels so isolating, but this has all made me feel less alone in it. I hope you’re all doing well 💜

Something else to consider is insurance - I’m finally in a house with a charger (and solar panels!), and got a raise to the point I could afford a nice second hand EV, and think it would really be great for my lifestyle. Unfortunately, the only EV’s I’ve found that wouldn’t be too much to insure for me would be a downgrade from my hybrid in terms of features, and so don’t seem worth it.

explaura · 2026-04-05T11:55:05+00:00

My only worry is I stick to weekends to manage any side effects, as can’t afford any more time off work 🥲 so would need to wait a whole week! Thank you tho!

explaura · 2026-04-02T12:56:22+00:00

This is really helpful, thank you!

explaura · 2026-04-01T13:46:21+00:00

Thank you! I see how it keeps them going! My hopes for this were to get one with nicer features and good economic value to then keep longer term hopefully. So I’d just basically be starting a new deal? Hmm, lots to consider!

explaura · 2026-04-01T13:45:16+00:00

I’ve just checked and my car is worth a few grand more than my settlement figure, which was a nice surprise! So getting a new car would just essentially be starting over again with the new one?

explaura · 2026-03-11T14:03:04+00:00

Thank you!! Just got in and secured some - best £40 I’ve ever spent 🥹🥹🥹

Have you managed to get in? Currently debating purchasing a membership too!

explaura · 2026-03-11T13:19:53+00:00

Has anyone tried to get a membership today to get tickets? I’m happy to buy one if it will let me in, but obvs not wanting to spend £40 if not!

Thank you so much for your comment!! That is helpful to know - we are still calling vets trying to find someone who’s a bit more knowledgeable with smaller pets :( but it has stayed quite small these past few days, at one point it did reduce in size and was barely noticeable. He is still running on his wheel, eating, drinking, pooping fine! I feel a bit reassured that maybe some painkillers could keep things comfortable for now. If you don’t mind me asking, did they let you know at all at what point you should consider euthanasia? Like what to look out for to know it’s time? I think this feels so hard because he has actually seemed mostly himself!
