I’ve been considering stepping into the world of electric vehicles, and the Kia Soul EV has caught my eye. I’m in the market for a used model and could use some advice from those who have experience with this vehicle.

What I’m Looking For:

  • Availability: Are there any reliable platforms or dealerships that you recommend for finding used Kia Soul EVs?
  • Pricing: What should I expect in terms of pricing for decent models? Any tips for negotiating?
  • Experience: For those who own or owned a Kia Soul EV, what has your experience been like? I’m particularly curious about reliability and any common issues to look out for.

Additional Thoughts:
I’m located in [Your Area], so any local recommendations would be appreciated. I’ve done some initial searching online, but it can be overwhelming with so many listings. If you’ve found success in your search or have insights to share, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks in advance for your help!

I’m also in the market for a used Kia Soul EV! I’ve found some good listings on AutoTrader. Have you checked there?

I looked at AutoTrader too! I saw a few decent options but some seemed overpriced. Did you find any really good deals?

Great tip! I’ll definitely check out CarGurus. What features should I specifically look for when buying used?

5

Check out CarGurus as well. They have a pretty user-friendly interface and show you if the price is good for your area. I’ve seen Kia Soul EVs there at competitive prices.

Definitely look for battery warranty and overall mileage. A good dealer should also provide a vehicle history report, which is super important!

7

Yes! I learned the hard way by skipping the history report once. Never again! How high is too high for mileage though?

I’d say anything over 50,000 miles might be a red flag, but it really depends on how the car was maintained. Some used cars can last quite a while if taken care of properly.

That makes sense! It’s all about the maintenance records. Have any of you used any negotiation strategies when buying a used car?

10

When negotiating, I usually point out any minor flaws the car has, even if they’re small! It helps lower the price a bit.

Such a smart move! I need to remember to ask if they’ll include maintenance for the first few months. Anyone have good experiences with specific dealerships?

I bought my Kia Soul EV from a local dealership that offered a lifetime powertrain warranty. Highly recommend it! Just do your research on dealer reputations.

13

I’ll be sure to research first. Thanks for sharing! Maybe I’ll end up with a great deal soon!

I’m also on the lookout for a Kia Soul EV! I’ve heard great things about its range and tech features. Any particular model year you’re interested in?

15

Absolutely! The 2020 model offers a great balance of performance and efficiency, with around 243 miles on a single charge. That’s pretty competitive for an EV.

16

I recently test drove a 2019 Soul EV, and I was impressed with the interior space and the infotainment system. How do you feel about the cargo space?

17

The infotainment is solid! Plus, its safety ratings are quite high, which makes it a great family vehicle. I feel safe driving mine!

18

I’m curious about the charging options! How long does it usually take to fully charge?

19

It takes about 9 hours with a Level 2 charger. However, you can use DC fast charging, which can get it to 80% in around 75 minutes!

I read some reviews that mention the ride quality isn’t as refined compared to other EVs. Did anyone else notice that?
