Thinking of buying the 2012 BYD e6?
No 2012 BYD e6 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans.

A buyer's checks
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
What the figures tell you
Power: the electric motor; drive: front-wheel drive. It is fully electric: no gas at all, and you return it with the charge it had at pickup. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
It uses 33.6 kWh per 100 km, so 300 km takes about 101 kWh of charge. Rated range: 196 km. Winter and highway speeds bring it down. At our price setting, it costs about $5.04 to drive 100 km. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$1,200 a year for 15,000 miles.
The e6 in everyday use
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
A good match for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
A longer test drive
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Money matters
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $5.04 in electricity. The EPA estimates US$1,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $50.40 at our price setting.
Choosing the right one
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Send a request
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
Rent it for a week before you buy
