I have a dilemma - my dealer has a new , unregistered MY 21 4S which I have paid a deposit on and am due to sign the paperwork , pay the rest of the deposit and pick up this week.
I’m really not sure if I am doing the right thing as I did not spec it and it and I am compromising on quite a few things but the biggest worry is it has the smaller 73kw battery. It also does not have sports chrono.
if I pass on this it could be a long time before another car with a performance battery plus is available , whether to order or otherwise .
My concerns about the smaller battery are
1. Reduced range
2. Reduced power 60-80mph zone in particular
3. Reduced desirability on resale
4. It’s late in the cycle for a MY21
I’m buying this via my company on HP for maximum tax benefits so no guaranteed minimum value , just a final payment to own it. No option to hand the car back for a guaranteed minimum residual value. All the risk of resale value and time to sell are on me.
Should I pass on this car and wait for a car with a performance plus battery ? Don’t want to be stuck with something which is difficult /slow to sell on.
