VW ID.3

That's dreadful, I'd definitely look at the born, you don't get the granny charger or the tyre inflation kit but neither are that big a loss. An EV without heated seats is a disaster, I like the steering wheel too, first time I've ever had one🔥

€800 extra would seem a no brainer. When you say “most”, what is still missing compared to an October ‘23 version ?

You'd presumably lose the excellent smart regen feature if you didn't have ACC? That's a big loss in itself, on top of ACC and heated seats.

On the top bar, tap clima, when this screen opens over on the right you'll see a rectangle with a steering wheel graphic, tap it once to turn on to 1, further taps will cycle to 2,3 and off. If it's anything like the Born, 1is more than enough to roast your mitts🔥

Update 3.2.1 is coming in next few weeks OTA. You should have message in your on line myvolkswage where you give permission to receive the update. Something to do with data protection no doubt.

The three options are clear, just wonder what folks consider when they reach this point.

I need to check but my guess is I have exceeded the mileage ceiling

Is this a Tour 5 seater ? I ‘ve seen one or two private sales, reduce to 28k ish, as they obviously were not selling, but that was 2nd half of last year, and with a lot less mileage than 70k, so i’d say realistically circa 25k may shift it.

Split the difference between a 58kwh id3 and an id4 77kwh from the same year and mileage as a starting point?

4 seater also has - Head Up Display, but not Area View, that was only in the 5seater i understand.

That won't make much of a difference difference, possibly a faster sale.

There are some pie in the sky asking prices for 2021 ID3’s 58kw, there are more than 30 priced at more than 25k on done deal, most are dealers, and they are not selling, probably deliberately overpriced, in order to artificially inflate trade in values of a potential customer with a trade in.

About 21 to 22k sounds about right for a 201 58kw ID3 with the most desirable extra the Matrix LED headlights included, remember, all have the 3 year warranty expiring this year. Add 3k ‘ish for the bigger battery & extra spec in the Tour.

There was a 2021 Roscommon reg for sale for more than a year on done deal, it dropped by 5k to 28k overtime last year, and went off done deal recently. No idea if it sold, but was way overpriced. If you want to sell in a reasonable timeframe, price it right.

I understand some 2021 ID3 Tour owners on here, got trade in prices from VW recently and they were very poor, at just over 20k, might be worth doing that to confirm to yourself how poor the pricing really is. Or, just hang onto it

Good price. Was it a private purchase?

Ya private. A few things to sort with it such as the drop links (not sure if it would be still covered by VW as I think they were a recall), but decent value. Seller had it for sale for about a year so was keen to sell it on.

GFMv on ours is 23k. But we’ve exceeded mileage obviously so I don’t know how much that will cost us.

Just need more boot space. But nothing out there hitting the mark

The tour is best out there for range for the price. ( maybe with exception of model 3 long range)

This might give you an idea, of the excess mileage versus agreement

A recall means it is a manufacturing issue so you are covered outside the VW warranty, up to 6 years.
