I found a potential buyer!
My partner is deciding whether she wants 40% ownership of the car but main roadblock now is she's highly worried about 1) repair and 2) maintenance costs so I'm doing research about repair costs, insurance, and maintenance costs for Lucid. I just need to reassure her that we won't have ginormous unexpected expenses. Otherwise she won't continue due to constant fear of driving such an expensive car.
Based on forum posts...repair costs are scary and unreasonably high from $2700+ for windshield to $10k+ for bumper replacements! How the hell is a bumper more than 15% of a new Lucid! I understand there's not many shops that repair Lucid so that adds premium, but is Lucid charging very high for replacement parts? I read somewhere here to expect 3x the usual repair costs vs other cars but I've also seen some posts that the repair costs are reasonable compared to other luxury cars.
I told her insurance should cover repair costs from collisions and vandalism plus I'm assuming maintenance costs will be minimal, but correct me if I'm wrong.
Anyone here had at-fault / cant find who's at fault and their premium massively increased due to high repair cost?
Anything else you'd tell a partner to convince him/her to help you pay for a car? haha
