    she herself bought it as a four year old car four years ago for small money

    Identical car on DD for 4250

    Cool. Fair enough so.

    Happy days though, the niro should be great! Seems no one has a bad word to say about it

    The only bad words about the Niro are its availability, its a good car.

    SE is second edition. More of an informal name rather than something official. It's still just the one model, but this years model rather than last years (which you may see referred to as FE, First Edition, on this forum).

    Didn't buy one but checked the cost to change. I would have been trading in my 2018 Ioniq. Was offered 20k for the car. Thought it was too low so didn't bother.

    What, you thought 20K was too low for a 2 year old car that cost 28k ? :rolleyes:

    you always wonder what they can be bought for straight , before i brought up the trade in , he was at 40700 straight , i argued that 40 k was a good round number , he wouldnt budge but probably would if you pushed hard enough

    not worth worrying about

    i could have gotten a diesel 192 peugeot 508 with 15 thousand km off the same dealer for 27 k straight , gorgeous saloon , however ,they are very low to the ground and my back would be broke fitting our eighteen month old and three year old into the child seats , im very tall and needed to stoop down to get into the drivers seat as well

    the niro is so practical in so many ways

    the one we test drove was already sold , amazed we can have a white one in two weeks , assume someone cancelled , salesman stressed this was not normal and we would normally be waiting several months , strange situation but lucky for us

    That's why I am very hesitant in spending 40 odd K on a Kia..............

    Kia don't depreciate nearly as much as BMW's

    That 7 year warranty and BMW's being dirt cheap in the UK, being main reasons

    I got nearly 20k in a private sale for a 3 year old car that cost 25k ;)

    Ioniq has very low depreciation. Compared to all other EVs, in particular the first generation Leaf. But I guess you know that already :pac:

    Time will tell but I can't see how a 40K Kia EV will hold it's value better than an i3.

    I try to AC charge the car to 100% once a month. It's giving me 480km @ 100%

    We must have a heavier foot! Although most of our driving is rural with very little city driving. 80km/h and 100km/h roads.

    Overall average the car is showing is currently 17kwh/100km but not sure how long that calculation takes into account.

    Fully charged highest I've seen is 417, and done about 220km y'day and still had 51% left on the battery. GOM seems pretty on the mark. Have over 6k km done up on the clock already.

    On another forum there are pictures of dashboards showing 355 miles in normal driving, no hypermiling. That's 571km. People are wondering why KIA are understating the range. :D

    Well in 3 years anyone with a Kia EV might be crying..... Certainly the low GFMV on the e-Niro is very scary indeed.

    A least on PCP if it devalues enough I'll just hand it back and it won't be my problem at all.

    Or they might not. I'm 1 year into ownership and I'm not particularly worried.

    I understand that you want to talk up the value of your I3, but there's no need to throw shade at other EVs to achieve that.
