That's not bad if the price is right.

I'd be willing to buy one for ~$5-8k.

5-8k for a car in this day and age? That's the price of a scooter

The Ami starts for substantially more than that.

And even then, it's not legally classified as a car. It has virtually no crash safety, a top speed of 28mph assuming no incline, and a real world range of 40 miles.

Don't get me wrong, I like the Ami, but it's a scooter alternative more than a car alternative.

Lmao $5k for a brand new car. You're dreaming mate

Who ever said brand new?

Might want to brush up on your reading comprehension, 'mate'.

It's a post about a new vehicle, when you talk about "buying one" it's clearly inferred you're buying from the factory.

Also, there's no need to be a complete dick. It's not a good look for you

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago

No, it's not inferred at all. The vast majority of people buying cars buy them used.

You're just desperate to justify your assumption.

I'd pay $15-20, depending on how well it worked.
