ICE cars have a lot more moving parts to break, so it's not a one-to-one comparison. When you buy an old ICE car you know there might be lots of small (or big) things that will need fixing soon. When you buy an electric car there are much fewer things to go wrong, and only one real big one (which you will be able to approximate since it tells you how worn out it is). I think this will become less and less of an issue as these cars become older and more common. On the other hand, if this does kill the resale value, I will be all over a cheap electric car and replace the battery myself.
