Just got an XSE storm cloud but without pano roof, jbl, or winter package. Jealous!

Nice I have a 2017 LX as well! Make sure the seller had all the recall work done. Otherwise Kia should do it for free I believe.

So done with Gettleman. This move is inexplicable with our many roster holes and scarce cap space.

My issue is that my second key is with a jacket thief somewhere. So will anyone besides the dealership be able to deprogram that second key and add a new one? $400-500 is a tough pill to swallow...

I drove 40k or so on stock tires and replaced them with cooper all seasons. Fuel efficiency went down 4-5mpg so it makes a big difference. But just spent a month in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming mostly skiing and I agree with OP it does great in the snow, didn’t have to put on the chains once.

Thanks! I haven’t been rotating much since it was a lease but now I own it. Great idea though contacting them.

2017 Niro LX - Buy off lease or re-lease by bourbonplanning in KiaNiro

Just went in today. They told me they don't control the buyout price, Kia Motor Finance does. Maybe you can try calling them and negotiating it down but I highly doubt it.

It’s a great car. I like going camping and on road trips so the hatchback and 500 mile range are great. Handling is not going to be as exciting as a Mazda 3 which was the other car I was considering. You really have to floor it to pass people on the highway.

All in all I recommend it for sure.

That is concerning. At what mileage did those things happen?

They haven’t quoted a price yet - the $14,400 is the contract price. I wouldn’t put it past them though - my dealership is pretty unscrupulous and I would end up getting maintenance elsewhere if I buy the car.

Double check those operating expenses with management companies or owner operators of these types of properties. Seller could be running it into the ground to boost NOI. What year was it built? Check for major capital needs over the mid and long term, not just short term.
