That's ignoring the very common issues multiple models have where the coolant leaks into the motor and you need a new motor/transmission unit. You really have to do your research on the exact model you're buying.
And research battery pack repairability. New pack costs more than a used car, but in some, single cells can be replaced if needed. It's rarely every multiple cells that fail, but if a single one does, the battery is nearly useless.
