A decade-old flagship luxury EV with over 150,000 miles on the odometer sounds like an instant red flag to most used-car shoppers. Battery degradation and expensive technology that will eventually require replacement are intimidating enough for most people hunting for a deal on a used EV. Yet, a recent example of a 2015 model-year flagship EV that covered about 160,000 miles tells a surprisingly different story. Its battery still retains an estimated 86 percent of its original capacity and can still travel about 186 highway miles on a charge. The real question remains: Is this a deal worth considering, or…

The price will only be revealed to potential buyers, but given that the Bristol Fighter cost about £235,000 back in the noughties, it can only be higher than that. Bristol says the Fighter can be configured in either right or left-hand drive and exported to various markets, including the USA.
