Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE ENQUIRING: THIS CAR HAS A KNOWN MECHANICAL FAULT. A BEARING EITHER IN THE SINGLE-SPEED REDUCTION GEARBOX OR IN THE ELECTRIC MOTOR ITSELF NEEDS REPLACING. THE CAR DRIVES AND IS PLEASE READ THIS FIRST. THE CAR HAS A FAULT. ONE OF THE BEARINGS EITHER IN THE REDUCTION GEARBOX OR IN THE ELECTRIC MOTOR NEEDS REPLACING. IT STILL DRIVES AND IT HAS A VALID MOT, BUT THE PROBLEM IS THERE AND I HAVEN'T HAD IT FIXED. ONE SPECIALIST QUOTED ME £2,500 OVER THE PHONE, THOUGH THEY HAVEN'T LOOKED AT IT!
THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON THE PRICE IS WHAT IT IS. THE CAR IS ALSO PAST KIA'S 100,000-MILE WARRANTY LIMIT, SO THERE'S NO COVER ON THE REPAIR.
Right that's the bad news out of the way.
Other than the bearing, it's a good car and I've looked after it. Full service history, everything on the button. There are a few minor scratches here and there, nothing dramatic, just what you'd expect from a car of this age and mileage.
It's the '4', which was the top spec you could buy in 2020 leather, JBL sound system, Apple CarPlay, heated seats, heated steering wheel, adaptive cruise, the big 10.25-inch screen. None of it was an optional extra, it all came as standard on this trim.
Also worth saying: it's the 64 kWh battery, not the little 39 kWh one.
1 only one owner from new. More than welcome to come and see it, have a listen and take it for a drive so you know exactly what you're dealing with. Sold as seen.
