The paint is in good condition, except for some rock chips and the like, and the center console needs to be, in the seller's words, "recovered."

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

This one has the worst wheels ever put on an SL, and many indicators that it has not been maintained over the years. The asking price is bonkers.

Akear They will sell about 15,000 annually. Nothing to see here.
Kcflyer Sounds like an impressive vehicle on paper and I genuinely hope it turns out to be great. My guess is, however, it will a) sell poorly for a number of reasons starting with the price , b) not be competitive to ice trucks in doing real hauling and towing but excel as an all around daily hauler for family and commuting. c) wind up in scrap yards well before an ice vehicle would because of pricey or obsolete battery concerns.
ToolGuy I like trucks. I like electricity. Can I drive this vehicle indoors?Also, that picture number 21 appeals to me.

MaintenanceCosts This would be my favorite trim of Mach E if it weren't for the dumb-looking rear spoiler. I think the white wheels are dope, it's available in a great dark green, and there's an option to delete the graphics and stripes.
