2024 Kia EV9 — 50,000-mile ownership report: what actually broke? — buyer question from Connecticut

ShiftGuy438Community StarterMay 16, 20262024 Kia EV9 GT-LineConnecticut
I just crossed 50k miles and want to log maintenance, unscheduled repairs, tire life, fuel economy, dealer visits, annoyances and whether I would buy the same car again. What would you check next?

Walk if they won't put it on a buyer’s order. If one piece looks too good on the 2024 Kia EV9, hunt doc fees, accessories, and the APR next. Then the comparison gets honest. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. Going to compare one more dealer before I decide.

Compare apples to apples or you'll get spun. Ask for out-the-door on the 2024 Kia EV9 with fees, add-ons, and rate on separate lines. If they balk, that's your answer. This is from a 2024 Kia EV9 in Connecticut. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. I'll post OTD once I have two apples-to-apples sheets.

Same neighborhood, different next step: A written buyer’s order on the 2024 Kia EV9 is worth more than any verbal “we’ll make it work.” If they balk, that's your answer. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. I'd sleep better after that step, even if it finds nothing. Sleeping on the number either way.

Fair point. Counterpoint: In Connecticut, insurance quotes flipped a 2024 Kia EV9 comparison for me more than the sale price did. That's the part that actually changes the decision. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. If the title is messy I'm out, full stop.

Same neighborhood, different next step: Ask for out-the-door on the 2024 Kia EV9 with fees, add-ons, and rate on separate lines. Do that before you talk monthly again. On “50,000-mile ownership report: what actually broke? —,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Do that first. Wrote this up on my lunch break.
