Looking at a Used 2023 EV6 Wind AWD – Need Opinions!

I’m going to check out a used 2023 Wind AWD with 13k miles tomorrow. It’s a Kia Certified Pre-owned, listed at $34K.

I’d love to hear any opinions or advice.

What should I be asking the dealership and what should I look out for?

Thanks in advance!

Just keep in mind Kia is offering $7,500 cashback on new models right now. I’m not saying you should go for a new one, but it might give you leverage to get the dealership to drop the price on the used one.

Yeah, I saw that. Great advice! My first chat with the salesperson didn’t leave me feeling too optimistic though. She said, ‘This is a great price, we’re losing money on this deal!’ :joy:

Haha, classic ‘salesperson lies.’ Funny how their ‘best offer’ always drops when you start to walk away.

Does it have the tech package? The price seems a bit high if it doesn’t.

I think it’s without the tech package.

Yeah, in that case, it’s definitely on the high side. I got a '23 Wind AWD with tech and 3k miles for $34.5k.

@jeff
I just left the dealership. They wouldn’t go lower than $33k, so I walked.

That price isn’t great, especially if it doesn’t have tech. I’ve seen some with the tech package going for high $20s recently. My '22 Wind with tech is worth about $22k as a trade-in or private sale. You should tell them $29k is your final offer and see if they budge.

@martin
I’d definitely take it at $29k. I’m trading in my 2018 VW Tiguan with 103k miles, so I’ll see what they’re willing to do.

For comparison, you should also check out the cost of leasing a new 2024 Wind with tech or GT-Line (24-month, 10k/12k miles).

I’ve gone down the rabbit hole and can’t seem to find a lease under $500.

@Peggy
I was about to sign a lease for a 2024 GT-Line AWD for $1k down and $420/month. It’s possible! I ended up going with an Ioniq 5 SEL AWD—24 months, 12k miles, $351/month with $500 down.
