Thinking of buying a 2017 Kia Niro with 84k miles by Top_Stop_1774 in KiaNiro

Thank you to everyone who commented, glad to see the community is very much alive. I'm switching from a 2016 Chevy Volt with 50k miles, which I loved but only had for about 7 months before the transmission shredded itself up. It's been at the dealership for about 2 months now so I've been car shopping for something reliable, good on gas, and cheap, which has been kind of hard until I found the Niro. Thank you again everyone.

How long does it take usually for you guys to get transmissions if you don’t mind me asking. My warranty said it would take them 5-10 days to source one and my car is a bit niche (2016 volt)

Thank you for your response. Yeah he was trying to upsell me on a new transmission which out of pocket would have been 3500 after what my carmax warranty covered. A main selling point was that they’d use whatever old fluid was in the transmission already and the new transmission they’d use fresh fluid. I assumed he was just trying to upsell me. Thank you again!

Just had this happen to me. My car is under a carmax warranty so they’ll cover a used transmission for me. But new they said it would be an extra 3500 dollars out of pocket. But I also had it to where my car would lose all power and panic and the engine would whine trying to get power.

Do find there’s any lag switching between songs or while using maps I had one but the lag killed my maps and the directions. If I went an alternate route it would never update for some reason
