  1. Incredibly grateful to all who contributed. After nearly three weeks of losing about fifteen miles per day, I disconnected the twelve-volt battery for thirty minutes, and it remained steady for twenty-four hours. I also placed an order for a battery monitor. However, hear this! The dealer was so shocked by my cancellation call that they offered me a job! Just some common sense and a quick web search, I said. Does nothing to improve my opinion of the Kia dealer, who appears to be clueless when it comes to the car's technological aspects.
  2. My heart desires it! I'm waiting for Kia to do something, and the dealer isn't doing anything to help.

  4. The 2025 EV3 GT Line S Long range has been in my possession for seven months. Outside of a few minor issues, I absolutely adore the vehicle. For example, for the past ten to twelve weeks, it has informed me that it is updating the software due to an update. Kia is aware of the problem and is trying to find a solution, but the dealer has no idea what's going on and is completely useless. I can't stop the process to test it with a USB stick because I am halfway through. On a more serious note, I left my car parked in Southampton for thirteen days while I went on a two-week cruise. I know it's bad to leave a car unattended while it's charging, but I managed to get the battery to about 220 miles before I set out. I was astounded to see that the car had a range of 89 miles when I got back. Even though it hadn't gone anywhere, the app showed that its battery life had dropped by almost 60%!?! After getting back home, I noticed that the car is losing 10-15 miles per day while charging. Based on what I've read online, it might be because the main battery is charging the 12v battery more than what's needed. From what I've heard, it can be "reset" by removing the negative terminal from a 12v battery for 30 minutes. Does anyone have any similar experience? There will be a delay of a few days before the vehicle is scheduled for pickup at the dealership. Because I don't know what other consequences there might be, I haven't attempted to disconnect the 12v battery.
  5. In no world would I base my purchase decision on the condition of a car's tires. It will not be around forever. During the pre-sale check, dealers frequently install inexpensive tires. Do they really need to spend that much?
  6. I appreciate your response. Could you kindly indicate the appropriate location to post my question so that more members would view it?
  7. Recommendations for the persistent decline in engine coolant levels? The situation commenced two weeks ago without any apparent leaks beneath the vehicle.
  8. Thank you for your response; I will proceed accordingly.
  9. I possess an X5 30d; is there a method to prevent the radio volume from decreasing? It may be quite bothersome. I have examined the settings but have been unable to resolve the issue.
  10. I am not an automobile salesperson, therefore I will not be searching for a vehicle on your behalf. 😂 I would prefer to purchase a vehicle with 200,000 miles that has been well-maintained rather than a low-mileage vehicle that is leaking oil, has broken springs, and has suffered a failure of the OEM ball joint, likely due to the excessive pressure from the damaged springs, indicating that the springs have been compromised for an extended period, as most OEM suspension components typically endure 100,000 miles with proper care. Your initial post unwittingly provided the answer to your query; if you must enquire about the worthiness of a risk on a public forum, you are merely seeking validation that the risk is unwarranted. It is likely the reason it is at a Citroën dealership, following the previous owner's realisation of the costs associated with repairs at a BMW dealer, ultimately leading them to opt for a more economical, French vehicle that would be less expensive to maintain in the future.

  12. Typically, broken springs would not alarm me; nevertheless, their discovery solely during the MOT stage raises questions about the vehicle's maintenance and care. £20,000 for a 2015 model 650? It may be prudent to purchase the M6 and conserve some funds. 😂 Jokes aside, the individual from whom I procure my pre-owned performance automobiles typically possesses some remarkable options in inventory, and I can personally attest from firsthand experience to his rectification of difficulties that develop post-sale. Currently in possession of a pair of substantial specification 7 and 8 series vehicles that appear to be impressive automobiles. He is undoubtedly deserving of a call, since Josh excels in procuring a diverse array of vehicles, ranging from standard automobiles to Rolls-Royce Cullinans, for his clientele, and his operation is exceptional. His automobile trading page if you wish to browse:
  13. I do not intend to intrude; please direct me as necessary, but what is the price of the car and what is your budget? If it is £3,000 below market value and requires an investment of £1,500, it is likely a favourable offer. If it is priced at market value and requires an expenditure of £1,500, then it constitutes a poor investment.
