Is this a good deal on the 2023 Niro PHEV EX? Help me out

Looking at a 2023 Niro PHEV EX, one owner, 40,500 miles on it. I plan to use the used EV credit, so I’m thinking it will cost me around $21,858.50 after that… Is this a good deal?

Lol what’s the ‘dealer’ fee?

Their profit :joy:

Tell them to take off all those extra fees like that dealer fee at least.

Just got off the phone. They’re not willing to remove those fees. They said e-filing is to ‘save me time,’ but when I offered to do it myself at the DMV, they said no :joy: Guess it’s not about saving time after all.

@Masitsa
Which state are you in? If there’s a neighboring state with lower doc fees or if it’s regulated/fixed, just say, ‘Look, 2 hours away, they’re charging $175 (like NY) and still making a profit. I’ll give you $250… or $300.’ That doc fee is insane. Thanks NJ and FL.

$400 for tags? What are you getting for the $999 dealer fee? Seems inflated to me.

I’d rather go for a 2025 KIA K4 EX for the same price (or maybe even less).

40K miles between 2023 and 2024 is a lot. It should be more like 24k. Plus, it’s an EV, and the warranty doesn’t transfer to the new owner. If any battery issues come up, it could be a major problem. I’d think twice before buying, assuming you haven’t bought it yet.

That’s a LOT of miles in 2 years.

Considering the car could’ve been sold in the spring of 2022, that’s not really a lot of miles.

Thanks for the downvote… over this?
2023 model would be released late 2022 at best. It was announced in April 2022. Assuming 12k a year is average… Yeah, 40K on a new platform like an EV is a lot of miles.

E-filing fee is a joke. And I assume new tag is registration? That isn’t $400. You should get at least $400+ off.

I agree. They mentioned that the $400 fee might be removed since I already have a tag. I’m still working out the details with them in person because I’m dealing with them from a different part of the state.

I’d take your KIA.

New tag $400. What state is this? $1k dealer fee is ridiculous too…

Florida, but the fee will go down since I have a tag.

Not sure about FL, but in IL, for example, you can’t transfer plates. You have to apply for a new one.

@breezy
Florida allows you to transfer the tag :+1:
