Day in, day out, you cross one of our largest cities alone, which is what your work entails. You don’t want to wait until the day that your used car is no longer allowed to enter an environmental zone, so you want a compact, affordable, fully electric car now.
The used car range is enormous. You can find affordable second-hand cars everywhere at a dealer, via Gaspedal.nl and even on Facebook. Autovisie selects the three best used cars in a segment every week.
An electric car for 10,000 euros
This week we will be looking for a used car for a maximum of 10,000 euros. Don’t like the Citroën C-Zero? Then take a look at the occasion for next Thursday or Saturday. Or look here for all used cars up to 10,000 euros.
Citroen C-Zero (2010 – 2020)
Well, um, actually this is not a Citroën, but a Mitsubishi i-MiEV with different logos. The same applies to the Peugeot Ion. There is no difference between these three. These cars are taller than they are wide. How narrow only becomes apparent when someone sits next to you. The seat is remarkably high, because the battery is located under the front seats. The luggage compartment in the back of the used car is small and ‘open’, so don’t leave anything of value in it. The C-Zero drives very easily. It is also very manoeuvrable.
The range is about 150 or 160 kilometers, but that decreases rapidly as the car gets older or on a cold day. There is plenty of supply, such as the white one (2020, 19,000 km) for 9,995 euros at a car company in Oldebroek.
You should pay attention to this when purchasing a used car
The C-Zero and its peers have one problem that sometimes occurs. The motor becomes too hot and then switches itself off for safety reasons. The cause is usually too little coolant in the reservoir, which is located under the luggage compartment.
Topping up is sufficient for the moment, but how and where does the used car lose the coolant? Before the engine stops, a warning light appears on the dashboard.
This forgotten 80s coupe is a dirt-cheap used car
