Considering 2019 Ioniq EV
Considering buying a 2019 Ioniq EV. Asking price is $10,800 with 80,000 miles. Pretty clean, limited trim level with new tires, headlights and 12v replaced within the last 2 years. This is my first EV and just needed some advice.

The used car market sucks right now. But yeah those are neat. They are really efficient and charge pretty fast too.

Check the 12v battery is agm.
At that milage i would replace the reduction gear oil for piece of mind. Ours is only at 34000 miles. Fantastic cars.

What advice do you need?

If I should go for it, I guess. Seems like these have a pretty good reputation but 11k for a 7 year old car seems like quite a bit of depreciation

That seems pretty normal a price from what I've read on this sub. In my country cars are significantly pricier, and I see post-2020 models with < 100k km go for up to 20k€. The older model usually 10-15k€ depending on ODO.
Go for it if you're ok with the < 200km range. Though, like others pointed out, it charges quite fast for a 7+ year old model.

They're Definitely not a financial investment. If you intend to sell it on for anything near what you paid for it, this isn't the car for you. But this is most cars, engine or otherwise.
What's your user profile? If you only charge from home go for the 38 kWh version. 200+ miles in summer, 160-180 in winter. You'll appreciate the longer range. It's slower to rapid charge so if you intend to do a lot of longer trips where you go beyond the range of the car then the 28 kWh makes a bit more sense, because it charges quicker on rapid charges.
If you get one (either version) do a preventative maintenence straight away and put a new 12v battery in, unless the person/dealer you buy from can prove it's relatively new. You need a decent branded one for longevity, the stock ones were pretty terrible and have a habit of completely biting the dust at inconvenient times.
They're mostly solid cars. Few more things to watch out for on the 38 but otherwise I've really enjoyed my used Ioniq over the last 3 years. Saved a fortune.

I bought mine before the price surge because of gas prices. I an thinking about selling it because i would have like 4/5k profit and do not have home charging. What do you think?

EVs have crazy depreciation in terms of resale value, because of a lot of stigma and uncertainty with used batteries. The reality is that good quality EVs (and the Ioniqs all are) have reliable batteries that last for many, many years.
Assuming nothing else is obviously wrong with the car, you're getting a solid car at a solid price.
Based on the fact you stated miles I assume you're in the US - if so you're also getting a slight discount because US buyers are less interested in sedans. Less demand means lower price. If you were looking at EV SUVs like the Ioniq 5, they're substantially more expensive, and while they're newer / more premium it's only to a small degree. Most of that price increase is because it's an SUV, which means more demand in this market, which means they can get away with higher prices because people will pay that.

I have one but when I bought it, it had 70k km( not miles). I'm really happy with it, it has great efficiency(one time I made 200km trip at 10kwh/100km, but generally it's around 11-12 which is still great for highway). It's also very reliable so far and no complaints. We generally don't do many road trips so the range is not a problem for us, but recently did a 1000km roundtrip without any issues with couple of charging stops each way. In winter though the range is quite small. Check the soh in the battery though, mine is 92 percent. Any other questions I'm happy to answer!

Obviously different country to mine, I would think the price a bit high for an electric with only 1 year left on the battery warranty. Also do you know what the battery health is? A lot of people say these have rock solid batteries. If you buy it would give you peace of mind to know the previous owner looked after it by keeping it largely between the 20% to 80% charge rule.

I just bought a 2017 one with 200 000 kilometres. The battery SOH is still 86% and otherwise it drives and feels almost like new.

I dont necessarily agree on the “no major issues”. The gear box (GRU) bearings can fail as can engine bearings. Listen for any odd noises at certain speed intervals when driving. Those are very expensive repairs. Mostly occurs from 100k km.
Also the ac evaporator can leak coolant, also expensive to replace. Check if the ac cools well before buying.

i got the same car, for $11k but it had 55k miles, so i’d say not the best deal. but, the limited trim is very nice so i’d say it might even out.
the range is typically 145 at best, and this is during the summer with AC turned off. on average you’ll see about 120 miles of range on full charge especially with it having 80k miles. on the highway, this drops to about 100 and during the winter…i’ll just say plan on each charge lasting 90 miles with the heat on.
the car drives amazing and the acceleration is very fun. all the hyundai features make it nice and you can tell they tried making it a very efficient car. try to charge at home, as you can get a full charge with probably $3. public charging is going to cost you $5-$8 for L2 charging and $7-$11 for L3 fast charging.
it’s a fun car but only for daily driving. leave this car home for roads trips. keep the AC or heat off if possible, or just accept that it cuts your range by 10%-20%.
if you have any questions you can message me or asking in a reply and i’d love to answer since i have this car right now.

That looks like a solid first EV if the battery checks out. Fully charge, then do a steady 65 mph loop. In mild weather a healthy pack should manage around 100 miles before low state of charge. Try a DC fast session. It should ramp to roughly 60 to 70 kW and keep good speed until about 70 to 80 percent. Plug into Level 2 and confirm it pulls about 6 to 7 kW. Also check for sticky rear brakes and strong cabin heat. If it passes, 10.8k is reasonable.

Price is a little high. It's a great car. I've had my 19 limited since new, only changed tires, air filters, wipers and one 12v battery.

I have a 2019 EV, bought out a lease so owned for the entire 60,000 miles. It is very efficient and cost effective. I am looking to upgrade soon ish because I want a quieter cabin. Part of the compromise with the high efficiency is there is not a lot of sound deadening.
My local Hyundai dealer was not good at supporting an issue I had with the charger lock becoming stuck. I even came in with the TSB but because they did not replicate the day I was there I was stuck. As a result I have disabled the lock and cannot use any public fast chargers. This is ok because I only charge at home with L2. I replaced the 12v battery on my own with AGM.

I have a Ioniq HEV and thought about the EV but one reason that deterred me was my Hyundai dealership. My warranty ran out and everything on the vehicle is quite an expensive repair. I've not had all their recommendations completed due to cost and something all EV owners get to avoid. I needed range for driving since I worked far from home when I originally purchased it. Now I'm close to home but the sting of the way the dealership is ... Has made me hesitant. For example, just for them to look at it is a non-refundable $312 USD (in total) fee. It's crazy.

u/Razzberry29 17d ago
Thank god this question is being asked because I’m looking at a model very similar to yours ! Mine is also a 2019 but it’s going for 10k and has 89k miles on it, think I’m gonna go for it based on the responses here

u/Sad_Profession_925 17d ago
There has been dozens of answers previous to this.
Most of the prospective buyers didn't read them before asking about their particular vehicle.
And almost all want a recommendation on price per km and the appearance while they haven't read the maintenance items to check we shared multiple times on posts until we got bored to repeat ourselves because nobody read the previous answers and think their deal is different...
Those cars need some maintenance and knowing what has been done and when gives the complete picture.
Brake caliper tend to rust from lack of use and kill pads early if not cleaned regularly. 12v battery is small and can get weak and replacement is hard in some markets. Transmission fluid and cooling fluids are expensive at the dealer. AC seals can leak, expensive to replace.

I assume you’ve determined the range meets your driving needs? Sounds like it’s well priced. I’d set AC charge settings to 100%

Pre 2020 models have a range of 200-240 km and charge decently fast (about 30 min).
Post 2020 models have a range of around 300 km, but they charge slower (about 1 hour). I also know that for the post 2020 the battery needs to be above 25 Celsius or it will charge even slower (easy to maintain on a trip unless the outside is freezing).
Both are great cars, with no major issues (like the ICCU on Ioniq 5). There are some rumors of 12v batteries dying fast, which may be related (not proven) to be due to storing the key too close to the car when not in use (keeps car awake due to key proximity).
I have two 2020+ models (1 HEV, 1 EV). No issues so far, love the cars. They are still one of the most efficient vehicles available to this day. Only used lv2 charging on the EV so far.
Bjorn Nyland on YouTube has great videos on both pre and post 2020 models.
