Meanwhile I plan on using this bolt until it's last bolt falls off and could only dream at the idea of paying for the entire cost of a car out of pocket

I love the iX interior and don’t care about it’s weird and ugly exterior but my problem with it is due to huge battery and mediocre efficiency and marginal charging speed/network it’s going to be poo poo at road tripping so I’d have to take one of my gas cars and then I’d be sitting in my gas car on a road trip thinking man I sure wish I could be in that BMW interior.

It’s got a clear accident history and presumably still has its warranties so that still seems like a decent gamble fwiw I dumped my 2018 WRX after a similar process where it only got fixed after being in the shop for months and getting. Subaru engineer out. Just got fed up with it even though the issue got resolved. Tiny Timbs fucked around with this message at 18:07 on Oct 22, 2023 |

I feel like the issue with the branded title will be that people won't want to loan money on it, and insurers won't want to insure it, but maybe that is just salvage titles.

Evil Robot posted:Went to a bunch of Hyundai dealerships today. They're a bit higher on the sale price than I expected for the Ioniq 6 Limited RWD - net cap cost $45,265. I don't qualify for the $7500 federal tax credit so I'm interested in Hyundai since they're throwing that in as a lease rebate. I plan to immediately buy out the car from the lease. With my tax situation, the Ioniq kind of the in the Tesla Model 3 LR range (a few $k cheaper) but Hyundai doesn't have a lovely leader and I think the Ioniq 6 looks better / the Limited actually has a bunch more features. Whitehowler's experience with haveing to fight Hyundai to diagnose and fix the cooling pump issue has me leery of a all the e-GMPs until that gets an official recall. bird with big dick posted:Let me know if they actually have a Hummer EV I'll buy it Maybe if my local dealer would drop the +$15k "market adjustment" someone would buy theirs! https://www.carrbuickgmc.com/VehicleDetails/new-2022-GMC-HUMMER_EV-e4WD_Crew_Cab_Edition_1-VANCOUVER-WA/5651149110

slidebite posted:By definition wouldn't a dealer have tried to repair a car returned via a lemon law several times already? Sometimes Lemon Law can be triggered just by parts delays pushing the repair past 30 days or whatever the state's threshold is. The vehicle can be perfectly fixable, it's just waiting for parts and the owner didn't want to wait. That's been common the past 3 years due to Covid royally loving supply chains. Or after executing the buyback the OEM ships it to have their own internal master mechanics have a try at fixing it. darnon fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Oct 22, 2023 |

Yeah it can be time in shop or number of times returned to shop for the same issue. I didn't quite have to lemon law my WRX but I got right up to the threshold, just because the dealer was trying different things to fix the issue before giving in and calling corporate. If I was single and didn't have to risk a lifetime of "I told you so" that Audi deal would be hard for me to resist lol

Having already had an Audi already grenade an engine despite being extremely good with regular maintenance the prospect of any Audi is scary enough and one that has a history would be too terrifying to even consider.

I've been looking at the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and was wondering how much weight to give having a heat pump? They apparently only put the heat pump on the AWD vehicles which means giving up 40 miles of range and paying $3900 more (but gaining HP/torque). This would be in the DC area, though I do take trips up into NY state a few times a year and less far north more often.

Yeah you want a heat pump. You’ll have reduced hot weather range, but any time you would run a resistive heater you’d probably gain like 20-35% range.

It can't be more trouble-prone than the Bronco, right? I think you need to find out. Evil Robot posted:what was this? Whitehowler discovered that the motor cooling pump wasnt functioning at freeway speed, and sending the car into limp mode. The car wasn't logging the failure, and he had to fight Hyundai to get them to fix it.

Do I remember correctly that the Hyundai twins AWD range is less compromised in the real world than the EPA rating, because they disconnect the second set of motors in eco mode? Or did I make that up in a fever dream? Hyundai sucks, and that oil pump issue is pretty bad, but they are making the most interesting, affordable EVs besides Tesla.
