Hi all

Looking at buying an M2C. There's one nearby at a Kia dealer but service history seems spotty. Is anyone here able to access dealer records?
Vin is WBS2U7C08L7E58118

Thanks!

I took a look at the car you are asking about (online). I ordered the EXACT spec! (it's coming in about a week). I was Just wondering why you would even consider a 2020 with almost 10K miles at an asking price of $58,480? Mine is a 2021 brand new, and the price was $59,343 (before taxes and registration). In my opinion, it would be the best $863 you ever spent in your life! Especially since the car doesn't have perfect history records. And even worse 2 owners on record, so you would be the 3rd.
Obviously, you are probably getting it cheaper than the listing price, but still.
For me personally, (I'm picky about my cars), If I was going for a car that was one year older, and 10K miles, I would want to save a minimum of $10K.
I'm sorry, but that car would be a hard pass for me.

Hey - thanks for the input. I never said I was gonna pay what they're asking which is something you're missing. Just getting all my info together ahead of deciding on my offer.

Seems like it.
If it only have 8k miles there would be no need to perform any other service unless something was wrong.

Except it had a service at 3500??

Wonder what the 3500 service is for? I thought the M2C service frequency is the run-in service, first service @15-18k range based on CBS, brake pad service on the 3rd year then the big second service at @30-36k service...

It is, that's what raises my eyebrows. That would suggest they went in early due to a fault or non-scheduled service. I would ask what that was for.

I vaguely remember there was a recall, which I did in one go when I took my car in for the run-in service. Could be that perhaps...

[adam_s]

They wouldn't go below $58k so this deal didn't go any further. Thanks all for the insights

I know it's too late anyway, but I did actually take it into account. Here is what I wrote:
"Obviously, you are probably getting it cheaper than the listing price, but still."

Anyway, I'm actually glad (for you) that you passed on that car. I'm pretty confident that you will find one that is a better car/deal. Good luck with the search, and if you find a used one that you are interested that is local to me, I would be happy to give it a once over for you.
