Year

Kilometres on the odometer

Asking price ($)

Which version?

An estimate, not a valuation. It compares the asking price with typical November 2026 prices for that year (carsales/RedBook and Glass's Guide). Condition, options, service history, battery health and where you live all move the price. For a formal valuation use RedBook or a dealer, and always do a PPSR check for finance owing or a written-off history.

Battery and warranty

8 yrs / 160,000 km. The warranty runs from when the car was first sold, so a 2022 car has about 4 years left and a 2024 car about 6 years left. Ask for a battery health (state of health) report before you buy: how to check the battery, including independent tests from about $200. If it ever needs one: what a new battery costs.

Running costs

At 250 km a week with NSW prices, a 2024 update (rear-drive) Polestar 2 costs about $14 a week charged mostly at home, or $25 on public fast chargers. See the full Polestar 2 page for running costs in your state, servicing and the new-car price.
