You're comparing a 25 year old vehicle with a new one. Come back in 25 years and do a similar comparison with a 2024 30k EV... Or, accept that your argument has nothing to do with EVs and is just an argument against buying new.
OK, so talking new, I can go buy a brand new 2024 Nissan Versa for $16400. It's estimated at 30mpg mixed driving. That's still only $1530 in fuel cost a year. Including the cost of the car, it'll take me 9 years to spend $14000 in fuel. My point is that Ev's are still not cost efficient, regardless if you buy a new or used vehicle.
