It’s got 250,000 miles and is $5,500. It’s a former taxi service car, apparently. Obviously, a pre-purchase inspection would be a must. I’ve heard these cars are very reliable, but the mileage, accident history (3, not sure how serious), and potential status of the high voltage battery give me pause. I’m leaning against traveling to look at it, but I’m wondering if the model is just so good it’s worth a try at that price point.
It would be replacing a 2015 Kia Soul with about 80,000 miles–Kia’s engine woes have me spooked, so I’m considering trying to get something more likely to go for several hundred thousand miles. Any thoughts?
Big no from me, even dispite my (untrue) reputation on here as a Toyota dick rider. 250k on a former taxi car for $5,500 that you’d have to travel to even look at sounds horrible. There are plenty of better cars to be found at that price
As someone who’s stupidly driven far distances for what looked like a good deal on a Used car, I’d never recommend it to anyone. Way too much pressure to buy at that point (sunk cost fallacy, I know), that you overlook issues you’ll regret later
Yeah, that’s my feeling. I just wanted to be sure I’m not rejecting a potentially good deal. Thanks for talking me though it!
