Ok guys I have paid the £4600 based on 80% saying yes and 20% saying no!

I don’t want to be left with a less desirable car come resale as have been bitten by this on my Ferrari 458 that would just not sell as it did not have the mandatory carbon seats! Took me a year trying to sell it and eventually had to sell at a big loss to a dealer!
Better to play safe this time :)

lol. I hope you’re not buying this car for it’s resale value. That’s not going to work out.

Of course not, who would buy a £110k car thinking about resale value? I’m being spec cautious as have had issues where car’s have stuck in the past and are unsellable.

A Range Rover Sport without a Panoramic Roof is another example that caused no end of issues selling.

Dealers and my gut instinct tell me that a car without the battery plus will be bad news for resale. I guess we’ll all just have to see :)

Each to their own at the end of the day but that’s my take on things :)

Each to their own views on the merits of specing the performance plus battery but I'm saving the money.
The weight saving of 80KG will help handling and I believe 2nd hand buyers will gladly save £4613 for the sake of losing 30 miles range.

Don’t think so. Kerb view parking is when the side view mirror tilts down when you put the car in reverse..

That makes sense, I’ve got surround view on my spec and would have removed and added the sports seats if it was the same

Stupid thing is kerb view, electric mirrors etc should be standard on a car that price!

Dealer told me today that Finance deals in the 4S pass most of the cost of the performance plus battery back to the buyer on the basis that it helps the residual value. No other option has the same impact on Financing apparently.

I can confirm this, I’ve got quotes for both and the performance plus battery adds £2,800 on settlement figure on a 3yr 15,000m pa PCP

Also the specs show that the smaller battery version has lower electricity consumption no doubt because of the lower weight of the vehicle.
