The market value of electric cars is crazier than what regular consumers think. The person who sold me this car experienced insane depreciation in just one year.

I'm Used Car Bbakcha. Today, I'm filming a car review video.

I always say: don't buy electric cars. If something goes wrong, it can be a big problem.

But the truth is, many people come to me wanting to buy electric cars. The market value of electric cars is crazier than what regular consumers think.

Also, we just got a great electric car in our office. The seller faced insane depreciation in a year.

The car I'm going to introduce to you today is what they call a car made by aliens.

Just in time, we got a really good electric car in our office. The person who sold me this car experienced insane depreciation over just one year.

The car I'm going to introduce to you today is what they call a car made by aliens: the Porsche Taycan.

This is Porsche's Taycan. The car is incredibly beautiful. A major reason for introducing the Taycan is its price.

Mileage or year doesn't matter much. This car has 30,000 km, but its market value is under 100 million won.

With the electric car buzz, costs have risen. Yet, many still want to buy electric cars.

Realistically, many come to me wanting to buy them. This is actually a really expensive amount compared to other cars, but there are various issues at play.

With all the electric car buzz these days, the costs have skyrocketed. But there are still people who genuinely want to buy an electric car.

And realistically, a lot of people come to me wanting to buy electric cars. That's because I take off all the lifts and check everything, so a lot of people come to me to buy electric cars.

cars. I tried an electric car for the first time, and it was surprisingly good.

I thought I should experience it myself, so I drove this car for a few days.

Honestly, I've only ever driven internal combustion engine cars, so this is my first time actually

experiencing an electric car in my life. But I ended up driving a really good electric car.

From the start, let me share what I found good and what was uncomfortable. Let me take it for a spin.

My head is just barely touching. As I always say, this is the average height of men in South Korea.

So, my seated height is almost average, but it's not super uncomfortable, just a bit uncomfortable.

It feels like you can easily go back and forth from Suwon to Seoul, but if you go further, like to Gangwon-do,

I feel like I might get out while holding my back a bit, you know? You should get out feeling like that.

Driving an electric car is comfortable. Putting on my seatbelt. Engine is on. Press to drive.

So now I'm putting on my seatbelt. The only thing I've done since getting in the car is put on my seatbelt, right?

Let's go, huh? The engine is on! The engine is on! It seems like most electric cars are like this.

If you press it like this, it goes straight into drive. You can just start from here.

I can see how people who have been driving electric cars would find it really uncomfortable when they switch

back to internal combustion engines. That could definitely be the case. What else did you like about driving the Taycan?

This ridiculous speed? Actually, this is the base model of the Taycan. After this, there are also Turbo models.

The Taycan's speed isn't fast, but the power is enough. Tesla drivers agree.

But from my perspective, I think the output and horsepower of the Taycan base model is more than enough.

I've heard people who have driven Teslas say that a lot. It feels like the car is floating in the air, and it's different from internal combustion engines.

But this one is different. This Porsche feels like the ultimate version of an internal combustion engine car.

They have a lot of data on that, so even though it's an electric car, it doesn't completely get rid of that

internal combustion engine feel. The 911 is a car that's incredibly famous from Porsche and realistically, even if I had the money, a lot of

people who are thinking about whether to buy this car have two main concerns. First, it's a two-seater, and second, this car is actually louder than you'd expect.

Start the 911, notice the sound. It goes 'vroom', just like that. It feels like they've blended the 911 and the Panamera together in a really clever way.

You can also ride it as a four-seater, and with the Taycan, you can charge it from both sides.

On this side, it's slow, and on the passenger side, it's both fast and slow.

When I checked fast charging, at 50% battery, it took an hour to fully charge at home.

You can drive comfortably, but long-distance drivers might find it inconvenient. In winter, the battery drains faster, and you need to keep the charger plugged in, which is uncomfortable in

the cold. If used car prices are high, I wouldn't recommend it. How much did the customer pay a year ago?

Probably around 140 to 150 million won. Now, it's in the late 90 million won range.

You can sit inside the car, but you might have to wait while shivering, which is a bit uncomfortable.

If used car prices are high, I probably wouldn't recommend it. How much do you think the customer who bought this car a year ago paid for it?

It's pretty close, around 140 to 150 million won. But now this car is in the late 90 million won range.

In just a year, it lost about 40 to 50 million won. So I was like, why did the prices drop so fast?

I've been thinking about this and while the driving range has improved a bit, electric cars have been a hot

topic lately. It was especially a hot topic. And with the facelift model coming out, Porsche has been giving huge discounts on new cars.

They're giving discounts of about 20 million won on new cars, so the prices of the older models have to drop

right? So, the Cayenne has really dropped in price like crazy. When you're buying an electric car, the battery is really important, right?

But for this car, I haven't seen the underside myself yet. Since I'm at the inspection center, I'll check with the manager to see what the car's condition is like.

Since the battery is located in the lower part, they've really made sure to protect it from cracks and damage

like that. Most of the people who come to us to buy used cars, since we have an inspection center, we lift up the

underside to check everything. If there are any cracks or issues like that, we tell you not to buy it.

If there are any scratches or impacts on the bottom of the battery pack, I keep mentioning this:

Don't sell cars like this. When things like this get scratched, I usually tell the customer it's okay.

If it gets dented, entry can impact the battery pack. So fortunately, the Taycan I'm buying right now seems to be in good condition.

But actually, there is that. With other supercars or more expensive cars, when you buy them, the maintenance costs are so high that you can't

really drive them. But this one is a bit pricey to buy, right? After the accident, the maintenance costs are actually pretty low.

The maintenance cost is just 100,000 won a month. Because if you just think about the cost of charging the electricity.

So, it costs much less than other cars. If you're considering buying an electric car, add electric car insurance for peace of mind.

Battery issues can cost 10 to 20 million won, especially with Tesla or more with the Taycan.

Get that insurance; it's crucial. A significant dent or impact can be costly. Should I keep a hammer in the car?

There's anxiety about fires. The world is moving towards electric cars, but here, we hear mostly about electric car fires.

Internal combustion engine cars don't catch fire? Do I really need to keep a hammer in the car if I drive an electric vehicle?

Anxiety exists about electric cars catching fire. Combustion cars catch fire too. 'Why focus on electric cars?

Fires can start in homes and spread fast. Combustion engines catch fire, so why can't electric cars?

Fires can occur in homes. Electric car fires spread quickly and are hard to extinguish.

Safety improvements are expected. Consider buying a Taycan or Tesla, but remember electric cars lose charge faster in winter.

Since the batteries are at the bottom, if something goes wrong and it catches fire, the flames will rise up

into the passenger area. And the speed at which it spreads is really fast. Another important thing is that they don't go out easily.

With regular internal combustion engine cars, you can at least use a fire extinguisher to put it out, but

With electric cars, it just doesn't work that way. I think this is something that will continue to improve in the future.

If they can ensure safety, electric cars could be a pretty good option. For those of you who were thinking about buying a Taycan, I think it would be good to take a look since you

can buy a pretty good Taycan for less than 100 million won right now. There are also other cars like Teslas.

The times are really different, so especially in winter, electric vehicles are more likely to be sold out than

in summer. If you are thinking about buying one, as I showed you earlier, make sure to lift it up and check it out.

I want to mention again that when you're getting insurance, it might look like I'm an insurance agent, but

I'm not. There are special policies for electric cars, so definitely look into that.

If you do, I think you'll be able to buy a good used car.

Then I'll see you in the next video with something even better. Used cars are tough!

전기차.. 지금 사도 되는걸까?
