For the past seventeen years (retirement) bought my and OH cars secondhand and automatic, and never had a problem with either's drivetrain, all of my peers seem to have the same experience, pub talk being mostly about our cars and how many punctures we have had.

You need to factor in main dealer repair / servicing prices, but if going down this route then just buy new and replace it every two or three years so it is always under warranty. Round here main dealers just seem to ship them out to bigger main dealers whilst giving the customer an ICE courtesey vehicle and the local smaller garages just do not touch them. The problem for the smaller garages is that the training courses are several days long and expensive, plus they are for only one brand and as a non francished garage they tend to work on any brand. Then factor in the age of a lot of these guys and they have the attitude that there will be enough EV work around to keep them going until retirement so not bothering with EV's and there is a shortage of any motor technicians as well.
