I saw a few used VW E Golf listings in my area for $6K. Battery health was at 85%. We're not as far as you might think.

Advertised at 85%. Also 83 miles at 100% ain't going to work for me.

It's not quite there today, but in the next few years, you're going to see cheaper price and longer range on the used market.
